This project constitutes the lead and coordination effort               for a study involving four US institutions, and institutions                    from  Australia and France.  A joint field program will be                      carried out  to study the water mass distributions, current                     structures and transport of the low-latitude western boundary                   currents in the western Equatorial Pacific.  Focus will be on                   the confluence of northern and southern hemisphere waters,                      which arrive at the entrance to the Indonesian Seas via the                     South Equatorial Current,  the New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent,                 and the Mindanao Current. Water mass tracers and direct current                 measurements will be employed.  Lukas and Firing will carry out                 hydrographic, moored current meter, and shipboard Acoustic                      Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements, while                             coordinating the work of Fine (Miami)  and Gammon (UW), who                     propose, via subcontracts, to carry out tracer studies (freons                  and tritium/helium).  The hydrography will  be done by the                      Scripps data acquisition facility, under a separate award.                      Richardson (WHOI) will deploy an array of surface drifters, to                  directly observe surface flows in the region.  This experiment                  is a major process study contributing to  the objectives of the                 US TOGA (Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere) Program.
