In this project, the P.I.'s will obtain time series of shear and                turbulence in the area of the warm pool in the western tropical                 Pacific Ocean, where the oceanic mixed layer regime differs                     greatly from other regimes, such as that in the central Pacific                 observed during Tropic Heat.  Local rainfall and island runoff                  freshen the near-surface layer, creating a non-thermal buoyancy                 layer that effectively attenuates wind-mixing of the thermal layer              except under very strong or sustained winds.  Understanding mixing              in this area is of fundamental importance to sorting out the                    hypotheses for generation of El Nino in particular, and for                     tropical ocean modeling in general.  Ocean measurements will be                 combined with improved measurements of air-sea fluxes made under                a companion grant.
