Description:
We are conducting an interdisciplinary study of the structure and
dynamics of Gulf Stream \Warm Core Rings by a time series investigation of
selected rings. This program consists of highly integrated components
which include physical, chemical, and biological investigation and
modeling studies. These components are designed to provide information
on the structure of rings and exchange mechanisms at ring boundaries, on their marine chemistry, and on the environmental controls of biological
activity of selected constituents associated with Warm Core Rings. This
research is being conducted by approximately two dozen investigators from
thirteen marine institutions. An interdisciplinary program of the scope
proposed is required in order to understand the interdependence among
biological, chemical, and physical processes in the ocean. This study of
the structure and evolution of Warm Core Rings will enhance the understanding
of fundamental oceanic processes and the role of rings in the
region where they occur.
