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）印度洋探险（IOE）的贡献。 其中，PI 将沿印度洋南纬 20 度部署三个海流米系泊阵列。 此外，他们还将监督沿同一条线（WOCE I-3 段）水文测量的执行情况，并参与 WOCE I-8S 和 I-9S 段数据的收集和分析。 最后，还将建立与系泊装置的部署和恢复相关的电导率、温度、深度（CTD）站。 目标是描述该地区假定存在的三个深部西部边界流系统的水特征、速度结构和输送。 这些观测将为首次直接测量印度洋经向倾覆率奠定基础。

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.
