US-Australia Cooperative Study of the Northern Branch of theAntarctic Circumpolar Current

9204041瓦特在这个项目中，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、动量和涡度收支，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，首席研究员将监督倒置回声测深仪的建造和部署，以测量ACC中的第一和第二斜压运动模式。*

9204041 Watts 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 construction and deployment of Inverted Echo Sounders for measuring the first and second baroclinic modes of motion in the ACC. ***
