In this project, the investigators will carry out a high-quality                hydrographic section along with Acoustic Doppler Current                        Profiling across the Atlantic Ocean along 8 deg N.  This section                will complement an intensive deep float deployment to be carried                out by other investigators.  Geostrophic shear from the CTD data,               together with the float trajectories, will be used to extrapolate               the velocity field away from the float-derived level of known                   motion to obtain the top-to-bottom, basin-wide absolute velocity                field.  Measurements of salinity, oxygen, and nutrient                          distributions will allow interpretation of the velocity field in                terms of source water masses.  Acoustic Doppler Current Profiles                of the upper few hundred meters, coupled with GPS navigation,                   will provide additional information on the absolute velocity                    field, and will also be used to distinguish between geostrophic                 and ageostrophic (Ekman) shear on large space-scales in the upper               ocean.  Scientific issues to be addressed by the study include                  the fluxes of heat and freshwater and the transport and dynamics                of deep water masses.
