Unit Affiliation: Ocean and Climate Physics, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO)
DESCRIPTION: In cooperation with China and Indonesia, the team will use trawl-resistant bottom-mounted ADCPs and an array of high-frequency radar to collect data as a baseline for circulation and to validate the high-resolution nested Regional Ocean Model System.
OUTCOMES: Two of three moorings were recovered and one was redeployed. Data from the moorings is being analyzed. Three journal publications.
