Transpacific Hydrographic Section Across 10'N

在这个项目中，科学家将沿着大约10度北纬在整个太平洋上进行水文测量，每隔75公里(更靠近边界洋流区域)将占用CTD站，并将使用声学多普勒海流剖面仪进行在航流测量。将为其他科学家提供空间，以便对营养物质和示踪剂进行额外采样。数据将用于估计南太平洋和北太平洋之间的跨赤道流动，以及处理北太平洋水性质的总体描述。这一数据集将对北太平洋的各种研究至关重要，这些研究与确定海洋在控制气候中的作用有关。

In this project, scientists will carry out a hydrographic section across the entire Pacific along approximately 10 deg N. CTD stations will be occupied every 75km (closer in boundary current regions), and underway current measurements will be made using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. Space will be provided for other scientists to carry out additional sampling for nutrients and tracers. Data will be used to estimate the cross-equatorial flow between the South and North Pacific Oceans, as well as to address the overall description of the North Pacific water properties. This data set will be impor- tant for a variety of studies of the North Pacific relevant to determining the ocean's role in controlling climate.
