IINC Scientist Us< BY DA\ sl> Vi JL.LiAr.5S0N UNC News Bureau When Dr. John Bane goes fishing in the Gulf Stream, he doesn't fool around I He uses floats that are five feet in diameter and provide 2.000 pounds of buoyancy. For sinkers, he uses 10 | railroad car wheels welded together and weighing four itons. And his lines?5.000-pound test steel cables?stretch two to three miles long. But Bane, an oceanographer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, isn't fishing for whales or sea monsters. He's fishing for information. The 38-vear-old scientist wants to learn as much as he can about the Gulf Stream, that massive lazy snake of water that glides up the Atlantic seaboard from Florida to Massachussetts before disappearing into the North Atlantic. What he discovers should help other scientists not / |SWjBEF a? 1|#SP ST * ' ' "7" J~t<-\ L-J ink P,'cq l_/1 l i ic f nyi i im A This boat looks like Its headed under the cursing sweet Beach Bridge under eonstrurtion.

"Some days it was so rough we couldn't work at all," Bane said. "Fortunately, it got up to 50 degrees sometimes because of the warmth of the Gulf Stream."

"Wp were delighted " he said "The monitors worked in that hostile environment recording all the data we wanted every hour for 12 months." Bane and his colleagues are now analyzing their newly acquired information with computers to recreate what happened in the Gulf Stream during 1984. Included in the analysis will be additional data gathered by satellites, flights over the Gulf Stream and instruments known as inverted echo sounders that sit 011 the bottom of the sea sending up sound waves to ships. 'l'tie result should be "the mast comprehensive study ever done of that part of the ocean," Bane said.

"It feels this information will improve its ability to monitor the position of foreign vessels." But Bane said his own interest is 100 percent scientific. The area he is studying is where the Gulf Stream | leaves the continental shelf and begins flowing northeastward into the deep ocean. He hopes to explain, among other things, the massive circular currents or rings?some as big as 300 miles across?that the Gulf Stream spawns as it breaks up in the North Atlantic. "Ultimately, we want to understand the entire ' ocean atmospheric system?how the sea and the air and the land interact with one another and how they work f together to change the weather and each other." l\ Sound 1985 Farm Bill ti:il_ so that we send a limitation.
