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
