9906776ChereskinThis project is a contribution to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, In particular the AIMS (Analysis, Interpretation, Modeling, and Synthesis) component. In this project, the PI will carry out studies of circulation and transport in the tropical Indian Ocean at 8.5oNorth, and in the Indo-Australian Basin (IAB). The extensive set of ocean current measurements made using shipboard and lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers will be interpreted, both themselves, and with velocity measurements from the other WOCE systems (floats, hydrography, tracers, etc.). As part of a group synthesis effort, this work will focus on regional studies of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indo-Australian Basin. The overall objective will be to calculate the total top-to-bottom fluxes of heat, freshwater, chemical tracers, and nutrients for these three regions for comparison with models, and with other oceans at similar latitudes.

9906776Chereskinisthis项目是对世界海洋循环实验的贡献，尤其是目的（分析，解释，建模和合成）组件。 在该项目中，PI将在8.5Onorth的热带印度洋以及印度 - 澳大利亚盆地（IAB）进行循环和运输研究。 使用船上和降低的声学多普勒电流介绍者进行的一组广泛的海洋电流测量值将被解释，并通过其他WOCE系统（浮子，水文，示踪剂等）的速度测量进行解释。 作为小组合成工作的一部分，这项工作将集中在阿拉伯海，孟加拉湾和印度澳大利亚盆地的区域研究上。 总体目的是计算这三个区域的热，淡水，化学示踪剂和营养的自上行到下层通量，以与模型进行比较，以及与其他海洋的其他海洋。
