Summary

Abstract:
The Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (FASINEX) took place in the subtropical convergence zone of the North Atlantic, about 1000 km east of the Florida coast. The location was chosen because of the well-defined and relatively long-lived sea surface temperature fronts in the region. The Upper Ocean Processes Group deployed five surface moorings with the objective of investigating air-sea interaction in a region characterized by strong horizontal gradients in upper ocean properties. The five sites, all in about 5480m of water, were separated by tens of kilometers (minimum 17 km, maximum 39 km, shown on a schematic). The moored array component, funded by the Office Of Naval Research, served as the focal point of a multi-investigator intensive observational period in February and March of 1986 Water Temperature Data Overview: Location: southwest of Bermuda, about 27 N, 70 W Duration: 5 months, from mid January, 1986, to mid June, 1986 Sample Rate: 7.5 minutes Variables: Temperature Instrumentation: See the table of current meters and the glossary of instrument types. Processing Notes: are available in a plain text file |
