Moored Measurements on the Rio Grande Rise for the Deep Basin Experiment (WOCE)

该项目将在南大西洋的巴西盆地部署一组系泊的海流计，作为世界海洋环流实验(WOCE)深盆地(DBE)过程研究的一个组成部分。这是一项国际努力，法国和联邦德国政府都做出了贡献。一个基本的前提是，通过仔细测量流入该盆地的流量和特征，可以对跨密度流有一个了解。这是以气候为目的的大规模建模中的一个重要元素。

This project is to deploy a moored array of current meters in the Brazil Basin of the South Atlantic as an element in the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) process study in the deep basin (DBE). This is an international effort with contributions from France and FRG. A basic premise is that by carefully measuring the amount and characteristics of the inflow into this basin, an understanding of the cross-density flow may be obtained. This is an important element in large scale modeling for climate purposes.
