REU: TOGA: Investigation of Upper Ocean Structure and Variability in the Western Tropical Pacific

为测量西太平洋暖池的上层海洋结构，拟在30至300米范围内安装一个装有温度传感器和声学海流剖面仪的表层气象浮标。观测将于1992年底至1993年初在热带海洋全球大气耦合海洋大气响应实验(TOGA COARE)的密集观测期间进行。该实验的目的是了解和描述海洋对西风暴发和降雨的反应。

It is proposed to instrument a surface meteorological buoy with temperature sensors and an acoustic current profiler between 30 and 300 m to measure the structure of the upper ocean in the Western Pacific Warm Pool. The observations will take place in late 1992 to early 1993 during the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE). The goal of the experiment is to understand and describe the oceanic response to Westerly wind bursts and rainfall.
