Collaborative Research: Indian Ocean Investigations in Support of WOCE CP1

9401681 Whitworth该项目是对世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）印度洋考察（IOE）的贡献。 其中，PI将在印度洋南部沿着20度部署三个海流计系泊阵列。 此外，他们还将监督沿同一条线（称为海洋环流实验I-3段）进行的沿着水文测量，并参与收集和分析海洋环流实验I-8 S和I-9 S段的数据。 最后，还将建立与系泊系统部署和恢复相关的电导率、温度和深度（CTD）站。 目的是描述水的特性，速度结构，并假定存在于该地区的三个系统的深西部边界流的运输。 这些观测结果将为首次直接测量印度洋的赤道倾覆率奠定基础。

9401681 Whitworth This project is a contribution to the Indian Ocean Expedition (IOE) of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). In it, the PIs will deploy three current meter mooring arrays along 20 degrees South in the Indian Ocean. In addition, they will oversee the execution of the hydrographic survey along the same line, denoted as WOCE section I-3, and participate in the collection and analysis of data on WOCE sections I-8S and I-9S. Finally, Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) stations related to the deployment and recovery of the moorings will also be made. Objectives are to describe water characteristics, velocity structure, and transport of the three systems of deep western boundary currents postulated to exist in the region. The observations will provide the foundation for the first direct measurement of the meridional overturning rate in the Indian Ocean.
