This project will investigate the structure of the ocean north of Hawaii using expendable AXBT's dropped from a series of flights. recent theory and analysis suggests that the Hawaiian Island ridge system rectifies incoming Rossby waves into a current system with quasi-persistent offshore structure. This study will determine the spatial sturucture, and with repeated flights, will describe some aspects of the temporal variability.

该项目将使用一系列飞行中投放的消耗性 AXBT 来调查夏威夷北部的海洋结构。最近的理论和分析表明，夏威夷岛海脊系统将传入的罗斯贝波整流为具有准持久性离岸结构的海流系统。 这项研究将确定空间结构，并通过重复飞行，描述时间变化的某些方面。
