Transpacific Hydrographic Section Across 10'N

在这个项目中，科学家将沿着大约北纬10度的方向对整个太平洋进行水文测量，CTD站将每75公里占用一次（靠近边界洋流区域），并使用声学多普勒洋流剖面仪进行正在进行的洋流测量。将为其他科学家提供空间，对营养物质和示踪剂进行额外的采样。数据将用于估计南太平洋和北太平洋之间的跨赤道流，以及解决北太平洋水性质的总体描述。这组数据对于确定海洋在控制气候方面的作用的各种有关北太平洋的研究将是重要的。

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.
