Tropical Atlantic NSF/TOGA Array: Analysis of Collected Data

反向回声探测仪（IES）已经在西赤道大西洋部署了四年多，与Sts的无人气象站同时部署。Peter & Paul Rocks，位于北纬1度，西经29度。在这个项目中，这些数据将与其他TOGA数据集一起，用于研究北赤道逆流点附近的温跃层变化。将考虑本地强迫和远程强迫。低模斜压波作为电流、风应力和底部地形的函数，也将被研究。结果将与一般循环模型的输出进行比较。

Inverted Echo Sounders (IES) have been deployed in the western equatorial Atlantic for over four years, concurrent with an unmanned meteorological station at Sts. Peter & Paul Rocks, located at 1deg N, 29 deg W. In this project, the data, along with other TOGA data sets, will be used to investigate thermocline variability near the point at which the North Equatorial Counter Current reverses. Both local and remote forcing will be considered. Low mode baroclinic waves as functions of currents, wind stress, and bottom topography, will also be studied. Results will be compared with output from general circulation models.
