在FRUELA项目的范围内，1995年12月和1996年1月，赫斯派里德斯号在别令斯豪森海东部、布兰斯菲尔德海峡西部海盆和杰拉切海峡地区进行了两次海洋学调查。研究区域的主要水文构造为ACC南边界和Bransfield锋。从温度、盐度、溶解氧、营养物和无机碳浓度等方面讨论了局地水体的特征和分带性。除了常用的基于theta/的分类外，还定义了水质量标记的浓度间隔。硅酸盐似乎是当地水团的一个很好的鉴别器。2001爱思唯尔科学有限公司版权所有。
In the framework of the FRUELA project, two oceanographic surveys were conducted by R/V Hesperides in the eastern Bellingshausen Sea, western basin of the Bransfield Strait and Gerlache Strait area during December 1995 and January 1996. The main hydrographic structures of the study domain were the Southern Boundary of the ACC and the Bransfield Front. The characteristics and zonation of local water masses are discussed in terms of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrient and inorganic carbon concentrations. Concentration intervals for water mass labelling, on the basis of chemical parameters in addition to the common theta/S-based classification, are defined. Silicate seems to be a very good discriminator for local water masses. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
