This proposal is to collect tracer and hydrographic data in conjunction with the deployment and recovery of a suite of current meter moorings in the Pacific Ocean near New Zealand. The purpose is to measure the influx of deep waters into the Pacific Basin. Deep water flow in this region has never been measured, although it is responsible for the principal water masses in the Pacific. The work is coordinated with proposals by Warren (9002709) and Pillsbury (9002709) and the New Zealand Oceanographic Institution. It is a component of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE).

该提议是在新西兰附近太平洋的当前仪表系泊设备的部署和恢复时，收集示踪剂和水文数据。 目的是测量深水进入太平洋盆地的涌入。 尽管该地区的主要水量是太平洋的主要水质量，但该地区的深水流量从未被测量过。 这项工作与沃伦（9002709）和Pillsbury（9002709）和新西兰海洋学机构的提案协调。 它是世界海洋循环实验（WOCE）的组成部分。
