Western Atlantic Thermohaline Transport Study (WATTS) at 26.5 Degrees North

将研究巴哈马阿巴科以东的边界流 在现场实验中使用了一组系泊的海流计。 本实验的主要目的是确定 的西部边界流，检查一个假设的环流 东方的边界电流，并添加到知识的 大西洋的热量再分配。速度将 应沿着一条400公里的带状延伸线测量。这 实验将与一个小组的补充工作相协调 以美国国家信誉做迈阿密和国家海洋和大气管理局通过STACS计划。

The boundary current east of Abaco in the Bahamas will be studied in a field experiment using an array of moored current meters. Major goals of this experiment are to determine the variability of the western boundary currents, examine a hypothesized gyre east of the boundary current, and add to the knowledge of the redistribution of heat by the Atlantic Ocean. The velocity will be measured along a line extending zonally for 400 km. This experiment will be coordinated with complimentary work by a group from the U. of Miami and NOAA through the STACS Program.
