In this project, the PI will deploy an array of four moored profiling current meters (PCM) in support of the intensive observation period (IOP) for TOGA-COARE. Each mooring will measure temperature, salinity, and velocity fluctuations between about 20 meters and 200 meters' depth at regular intervals for a period of one year. Characterization of these fluctuations will be used to study the response of the upper ocean to variations in surface forcing, using the vast array of supporting measurements to be made during the COARE IOP.

在该项目中，PI 将部署一组由四个系泊剖面海流计 (PCM) 组成的阵列，以支持 TOGA-COARE 的密集观测期 (IOP)。 每个系泊点将在一年内定期测量约 20 米至 200 米深度之间的温度、盐度和速度波动。 这些波动的特征将用于研究上层海洋对表面强迫变化的响应，并利用 COARE IOP 期间进行的大量支持测量。
