U.S.-Australia Cooperative Study of the Northern Branch of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current

在这个项目中，来自五个独立机构的四名主要研究人员将研究澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚以南的南极环极流（ACC）的能量、动量、涡量预算、纬向体积和热输送变化。系泊流计、海底电场记录仪和反向回声测深仪将与塔斯马尼亚州霍巴特的科学家合作使用类似的资源。在这个组件中，PI将监督用于直接速度和温度测量的一系列传统电流表的准备和部署。

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.
