U.S. Australia Cooperative Study of the Northern Branch of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current

9414972 Filloux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变异性。与塔斯马尼亚州霍巴特科学家的类似资源合作，将混合使用系泊电流计、海底电场记录器和反向回声探测仪。在这一部分，国际海洋研究所将与夏威夷大学和斯克里普斯海洋研究所合作，监督建造和部署海底压力计和海底水平电场(HEF)仪器，以确定正压洋流的可变性。

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.
