US-Australia Cooperative Study of the Northern Branch of theAntarctic 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。系泊电流计、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。在这个部分，PI将监督反向回声测深仪的建设和部署，用于测量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. ***
