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

9204041瓦在这个项目中，四名首席研究人员将在五个不同机构的支持下，研究澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚以南南极绕极洋流的能量、动量和涡度预算，以及纬向体积和热量输送的可变性。与塔斯马尼亚州霍巴特科学家的类似资源合作，将使用系泊海流计、海底电场记录器和反向回声探测仪的组合。在这一部分，PI将监督建造和部署倒置回声探测仪，以测量ACC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. ***
