TOGA: High Resolution Measurements of Sea Surface and Upper Ocean Currents

将使用侧视和俯视的多普勒声纳收集西太平洋暖池300米上方一个月的高分辨率海流剖面的时间序列。研究的目的是研究西风暴发产生的内波场及其对海-气界面附近混合和通量的影响。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)的密集观察期进行。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。

A one-month time series of high-resolution current profiles in the upper 300 m in the Western Pacific Warm Pool will be collected with side-looking and down-looking Doppler sonars. The purpose of the study is to characterize the internal wave field generated by westerly wind bursts and the effects on mixing and fluxes near the Ocean-Atmosphere interface. The observations will take place in late 1992 to early 1993 during the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere's 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.
