Summary
Abstract: The Synoptic Ocean Prediction Experiment (SYNOP) was a major
observational and modeling program designed to understand
the physics governing large amplitude meandering of the Gulf
Stream and the shedding and interactions of rings east of Cape
Hatteras to the Grand Banks. The moored instrumentation program
included the small Inlet Array near Cape Hatteras, the Central
