The Pacific High Resolution XBT/XCTD Network (OCE96-32983) [A CLIVAR/PBECS Proposal]

为太平洋高分辨率XBT/XCTD （HRX）网络的NSF部分申请为期3年的续期资金。这是一套跨洋的重复涡旋解析上层海洋样带，目的是观测海洋环流的年际变化以及质量、热量和淡水的输送。该计划现在已经有近十年的季度重复部分。将继续使用800米深蓝xbt进行采样，并使用新的2000米T-12 xbt进行补充采样，以确定西部边界流和整个盆地范围内的深部地转剪切。HRX网络是气候变率和可预测性项目（CLIVAR）制定的太平洋计划的重要组成部分。未来三年计划进行的分析将集中于全流域HRX数据的综合，并与相关数据同化和建模工作的结果进行比较。

0095248 RoemmichFunding is requested for a 3-year renewal of the NSF portion of the Pacific High Resolution XBT/XCTD (HRX) network. This an ocean-spanning set of repeated eddy-resolving upper ocean transects with the objective of observing interannual variability in ocean circulation and the transport of mass, heat and freshwater. The program has now nearly a decade of quarterly repeat sections. Sampling will be continued with 800-m Deep Blue XBTs plus supplemental sampling with new 2000-m T-12 XBTs to determine deep geostrophic shear in Western boundary currents and on basin-wide scales. The HRX network is an important element of the Pacific plan developed by the CLImate VARiability and predictability Program (CLIVAR). Planned analyses during the next three years will focus on basin-wide synthesis of the HRX data and comparison with results from related data assimilation and modeling efforts.
