9204040 Richman In this project, four principal investigators with support from five separate institutions will study energy, momentum, and vorticity budgets, and zonal volume and heat transport variability in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) south of Tasmania, Australia. A mix of moored current meters seafloor electric field recorders, and inverted echo sounders will be used in collaboration with similar resources from scientists in Hobart, Tasmania. In this component, the PI will oversee the preparation and deployment of an array of conventional current meters for direct velocity and temperature measurement.

9204040里奇曼在这个项目中，四名主要研究人员将在五个独立机构的支持下，研究澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚南部南极绕极流（ACC）的能量、动量和涡度预算，以及纬向体积和热输送变率。 将与塔斯马尼亚州霍巴特的科学家提供的类似资源合作，使用系泊海流计、海底电场记录仪和倒置回声测深仪。 在这一部分中，PI将监督用于直接速度和温度测量的常规海流计阵列的准备和部署。
