The Oleander project began in 1992 as an effort to conduct high-resolution upper-ocean velocity measurements on a sustained multiyear basis. The Oleander project was established to track near surface heat-fluxes in the Gulf Stream region by taking continuous measurements over a long period of time. In the past 15 years of this project, upper-ocean velocity and near-surface temperatures have been sampled by an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted in the hull of a container vessel (CMV Oleander) that operates weekly between New Jersey and Bermuda. These transects include measurements taken in four distinct and oceanographically important regions: the continental shelf, the Slope Sea, the Gulf Stream, and the northwestern Sargasso Sea. In addition to creating a long-term record of measurements, results from the Oleander project have been used by a variety of researchers and in a range of oceanographic fields. Intellectual Merit: Currently, ocean scientists from the University of Rhode Island in collaboration with an oceanographer from SUNY at Stony Brook will continue in leading the efforts of the Oleander project. In addition to maintaining the measurements for this long-lasting record, they will be further analyzing the collected data to elucidate the long-term climatological variability of the upper-ocean mass- and heat-fluxes, as well as investigating the linkages between velocity and heat flux regimes in the Gulf of Mexico and their connections to large-scale forcing fields. Broader Impacts: The measurements from the Oleander project have made valuable contributions to the CLIVAR (CLImate VARiability and predictability) program and compliment the measurements taken by other research initiatives such as the Ocean Observatory Initiative's Pioneer Array and the deep western boundary current measurement program. The PIs will continue their outreach program for high school students with Bayonne High School in new Jersey. Funding from this research will support research and education opportunities for graduate students.

夹骨项目始于1992年，是为了在持续的多年基础上进行高分辨率上海速度测量。建立了夹骨项目，以通过长时间进行连续测量来跟踪海湾流区域的表面热量。在该项目的过去15年中，已安装在新泽西州和贝尔莫达（New Jersey）和贝尔莫达（Bermuda）之间每周运行的容器容器（CMV夹层）的船体（CMV夹层）船体中，已在容器容器（CMV夹层）的船体中采样了上海上速度和近地面温度。这些横断面包括在四个不同和海洋上重要的区域进行的测量：大陆架，坡海，海湾溪流和西北萨尔加索海。除了创建长期测量记录外，夹骨项目的结果已被各种研究人员和一系列海洋学领域使用。知识分子优点：目前，罗德岛大学的海洋科学家与Stony Brook的一位来自SUNY的海洋摄影师合作将继续领导Oleander Project的努力。除了维持这一长期记录的测量值外，他们还将进一步分析收集的数据，以阐明上海质量和热量升级的长期气候变化，并研究墨西哥湾及其与大规模尺度的速度与热量方案之间的速度与热量方案之间的联系。更广泛的影响：leander项目的测量结果为Clivar（气候变异性和可预测性）计划做出了宝贵的贡献，并补充了其他研究计划（例如海洋天文台计划的先驱阵列和深层西部边界边界当前的测量计划）进行的测量。 PIS将继续为新泽西州Bayonne High School的高中学生继续他们的外展计划。这项研究的资金将支持研究生的研究和教育机会。
