Kuroshio Extension Regional Experiment (KERE) 1992 Field Program
1992
Hallock, Z. R. | Teague, W. J.
The primary focus of the KERE oceanographic field program is the observation of the hypothetical Pacific Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC), analogous to the DWBC found in the Atlantic. The model of Stommel and Arons (1960) suggests that a Pacific DWBC should exist but that near Japan it could be northward or southward, depending on model parameters. Observations in this region are relatively sparse. This objective is being addressed with five current meter moorings (CMMs) deployed across the Japan Trench east of Honshu and by a hydrographic section conducted during the deployment cruise in July 1992.
