U.S. Australia Cooperative Study of the Northern Branch of the Antarctic 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将与夏威夷大学和斯克里普斯海洋学研究所合作，监督底部压力表和海底水平电场（HEF）仪器的建设和部署，以确定正压电流的变化。

9414972 Filloux 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 work with the University of Hawaii and Scripps Institution of Oceanography to oversee the construction and deployment of the Bottom Pressure gauges and seafloor Horizontal Electric Field (HEF) instruments for determining barotropic current variability.
