Hydrographic Observations in the Western Tropical and Subtropical North Atlantic Ocean: Atlantic Climate Change Program (ACCP) and Western Tropical Atlantic Experiment (WESTRAX) during 1990

摘要

Data collected during the 1990 Atlantic Climate Change Program and the Western Tropical Atlantic Experiment were presented. The goals of the programs were to increase the understanding of the roles of the regional circulation and ocean circulation in global climate. Salinity, ocean temperature as a function of depth, and other hydrographic data were collected from shipborne platforms.
