Caribbean Inflow Variability: Submarine Cable and Sea Level Measurements

通过大西洋和东加勒比之间最南端通道格林纳达通道的水运将在最初两年期间使用现有的水下商业通信电缆进行监测。观测和模式结果表明，格林纳达海道在加勒比海海道中就其平均输送量、季节周期和总体变率范围而言具有最大的信号。因此，这是监测加勒比海和大西洋之间的动力连通性及其对气候影响的绝佳地点。

Flosadottir/Johns The water transport through the southernmost passage between the Atlantic and the eastern Caribbean, the Grenada passage, will be monitored for an initial two- year period using an existing underwater commercial communication cable. Observations and model results suggest that the Grenada passage has the largest signal among the Caribbean passages in terms of its mean transport, seasonal cycle, and overall range of variability. Therefore this is an excellent location for monitoring the dynamical connectivity between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic and its impact on climate.
