Analysis of Arlindo Data

0099152提供GordonFunding是为了完成对印度尼西亚海ARLINOD项目过去十年收集的综合数据集的分析。1991年至1998年，在加里曼丹以东的印度尼西亚深海对一系列CTD站进行了采样，并于1996年12月至1998年7月在马卡萨海峡收集了系泊海流计和温度的测量结果。将结合存档的XBT数据对这些数据进行综合处理，以调查印度尼西亚海与印度尼西亚贯穿流及其季风和ENSO调制有关的各种环流和层结特征。这项研究的中心主题是将印度尼西亚海置于更大范围的气候现象和海洋间交换的背景下。具体目标是调查：(1)印度尼西亚海内海洋层结(表层、温跃层和深层水)的时空变异性，以及(2)Makassar海峡质量和温盐通量与区域和更大尺度层结特征的关系。

0099152 GordonFunding is provided to complete the analysis of the comprehensive data set collected over the last data decade by the ARLINOD project in the Indonesian Seas. An array of CTD stations, with a lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler in 1998, was sampled from 1991 to 1998 within the deep Indonesian Seas, east of Kalimantan, and moored current meter and temperature measurements were collected in the Makassar Straits from December 1996 to July 1998. A comprehensive treatment of these data in conjunction with archived XBT data will be conducted to investigate various circulation and stratification characteristics with the Indonesian Seas pertaining to the Indonesian Throughflow and its monsoon and ENSO modulations. The central theme of the research is to place the Indonesian Seas into the context of larger scale climate phenomena and inter-ocean exchange. The specific objectives are to investigate: (1) spatial and temporal variability of the ocean stratification (surface, thermocline and deeper water) within the Indonesian Seas, and (2) the relationship of Makassar Strait mass and thermohaline fluxes to regional and larger scale stratification characteristics.
