Velocity Measurements in the Malvinas Current

9504258彼得森在这个项目中，PI将在1996年和1997年期间测量阿根廷大陆斜坡42°S附近的接近底部的速度。将部署9个不同深度的系泊设备，从200米到5200米不等，使用新开发的消耗型矢量平均海流计，每个系泊设备上从底部起50米处安装温度和压力传感器。数据将由部署一年后发布的Argos发射器检索。第二套仪器将在第一年后部署。A.Piola博士和阿根廷海军水文局将提供船只支持，并在每次部署巡航期间进行水文学测量。这些测量将为同时进行的水文测量提供参考，以便解决关于马尔维纳斯当前运输的实际强度的相互矛盾的历史数据。这是一项合作研究，在这个奖项中，PI将为该项目提供全面的科学领导和协调。

9504258 Peterson In this project, the PIs will measure near-bottom velocities across the Argentine continental slope near 42 deg S. during 1996 and 1997. Nine moorings at nine different depths, ranging from 200m to 5200m will be deployed, using a newly-developed expendable vector-averaging current meter, with temperature and pressure sensors at a height of 50m from the bottom on each mooring. Data will be retrieved by an ARGOS transmitter released after one year's deployment. A second set of instruments will be deployed after the first year. Ship support will be provided by Dr. A. Piola and the Argentine Naval Hydrographic Service, and hydrographic surveys will be conducted during each deployment cruise. These measurements will provide reference to simultaneous hydrographic surveys in order to settle contradicting historical data about the actual strength of the Malvinas Current transport. This is a collaborative study, and in this award the PI will provide the overall scientific leadership and coordination for the project.
