Velocity Measurements in the Malvinas Current

9504258 Peterson在这个项目中，PI将测量阿根廷大陆坡42 °附近的近海底速度。 摄氏度。在1996年和1997年。 九个不同深度的九个系泊系统，深度从200米到5200米不等， 使用新开发的一次性矢量平均海流计， 每个系泊设备上距离底部50 m高度处的压力传感器。 数据将由 ARGOS发射机在部署一年后释放。 将部署第二套仪器 在第一年之后。 船舶支持将由A博士提供。 皮奥拉和阿根廷海军水文 在每次部署巡航期间，将进行服务和水文测量。 这些 测量将为同时进行的水文测量提供参考，以解决相互矛盾的问题。 关于马尔维纳斯群岛海流运输实际力量的历史数据。 这是一项合作研究， 在这个奖项中，PI将为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.
