• Description:
  The primary objectives of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Study (STACS) are to increase the understanding of the dynamics of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre and to define which oceanographic processes are important in meridional heat flux. As the Florida Current has been shown to play an important role in this flux, the initial emphasis of STACS was to develop the capability to monitor the variability of oceanic heat and mass transport in the Straits of Florida.
