This project involves the deployment of surface current                 drifters across the equatorial Pacific Ocean basin, and the                     analysis of their trajectories and data collected from current                  and temperature sensors mounted in them.  International                         cooperation with France, Australia, and Japan is anticipated.                   350 surface drifters will be deployed in the equatorial Pacific                 over a three-year period to determine the upper layer advection                 and heat content and its evolution.  During the first year the                  primary procurement of drifters will be through this grant, but                 in out years, contributions from the French, Australians, and                   possibly the Japanese have been committed.  This experiment is                  a process study contributing to the objectives of the US TOGA                   (Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere) Program.
