A process study called the Eastern Pacific Investigation of Climate Processes in the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere System (EPIC) is proposed to study the behavior of the atmosphere and ocean in that region. The goals of the oceanographic component of EPIC are to describe, understand and quantify the evolution of the major oceanic structures and processes in the upper ocean under the deep convection region of the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in order to improve regional models and ultimately gain better prediction of annual and interannual climate variability. Measurements will include mesoscale velocity temperature and salinity using expendable profilers dropped from aircraft, small scale velocity, temperature and salinity fields with a shipboard ADCP and continuous Seasoar sections, velocity microstructure and temperature, salinity and velocity finestructure by continuous microstructure profiling from a ship on station at 10 N, 95 W and radiometric and bio-optical profiles at various locations along 95 W.

提出了一项称为对海洋 - 大气系统（EPIC）气候过程的东太平洋研究的过程研究，以研究该地区大气和海洋的行为。 EPIC的海洋成分的目标是描述，理解和量化在热带融合区（ITCZ）的深对流区域下海洋主要的海洋结构和过程的演变，以改善区域模型，并最终最终更好地预测年度和际气候变化。测量值将包括使用从飞机上滴落的耗尽剖面，小规模速度，温度和盐度场，带有ADCP的小规模速度，温度和盐度场，以及连续的海上剖面，速度显微结构，速度微观结构和温度，盐度和速度通过连续的微观结构在电位上，速度显微结构和速度限制，在10 N，95 W，沿95 W的各个位置的辐射计和生物光谱。
