OBS

From January to March 1986 a major field project, the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE), was held off the eastern seaboard of the United States ... The objective of the experiment was to improve the understanding of the genesis and development of winter storms in the region. A crucial component of the experiment was the documentation of air-sea interaction that takes place as cold and dry continental airflows over the warm surface waters of the Gulf Stream. To accomplish this, eight instrumented buoys were deployed offshore of North and South Carolina, and two research vessels were tasked with making measurements of surface and subsurface temperatures, salinities, and currents.
