Current meter data from 26 long-term moorings in the North              Pacific Ocean will be analyzed.  Moorings located in the                        Kuroshio Extension will be used to "profile" that current,                      following a method developed by the P.I., and applied to the                    Gulf Stream.  This method can be used to deduce velocity and                    temperature structure, as well as mass transports of the                        current.  Results will be compared for different alongstream                    locations, as well as with analogous results for the Gulf                       Stream.  Other investigations include:  1.  Attempts to                         determine the nature of the energy balance involved in the                      downstream decay of mean kinetic energy flux in the Kuroshio                    Extension;  2. Determination of eddy kinetic and potential                      energy budgets for the entire North Pacific region covered by                   the moorings; 3. Identification of possible instability                         mechanisms occurring in the region via their energetic                          signatures.
