Hydrographic and Velocity Fields in the Southwestern South Atlantic--A Winter from FS Polarstern

在这个项目中，PI将利用船上的可用时间， 德国研究船FS POLARSTERN将研究冬季 东南大西洋的对流和输送， 重点关注福克兰海流、向极延伸和 巴西洋流的反气旋性回归， 南极冬季的南极绕极流 1992. 电导率、温度与深度（CTD）、氧气和 将进行营养测量。 八个水面漂流者将 还可以部署以获得绝对拉格朗日电流数据， 与水文测量的比较。

In this project, the PI will exploit available ship time on the German research vessel, FS POLARSTERN, to study wintertime convection and transport in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean, with focus on the Falkland Current, the poleward extension and anticyclonic return of the Brazil current, and two major fronts of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current during the Austral winter of 1992. Conductivity, Temperature vs Depth (CTD), oxygen, and nutrient measurements will be made. Eight surface drifters will also be deployed to obtain absolute Lagrangian current data for comparison with the hydrographic measurements.
