Motion Induction Transport Explorer

小行星9521134 这个海洋科学仪器开发项目涉及一项可行性研究，以确定如何最好地实施电场测量，从修改后的ALACE浮子获得海洋运输和速度剖面观测。 拟议的运动感应运输探测器（MITE）是一个ALACE浮子，通过增加指南针，电极臂，放大器和新软件进行修改。 目前，ALACE浮标可以提供长达一个月的排水量和电导率重量流量平均值。 这些修改还将提供剪切与上升的测量，并提供浮子轨迹和记录速度剖面的短期波动的估计。 如果成功，MITE将在世界海洋的物理海洋学研究中得到一些应用。

9521134 Sanford This ocean sciences instrumentation development project involves a feasibility study to determine how to best implement electric field measurements to derive ocean transport and velocity profile observations from a modified ALACE float. The proposed Motional Induction Transport Explorer (MITE) is an ALACE float modified by the addition of a compass, electrode arms, amplifiers and new software. At present, ALACE floats can provide month-long displacements and conductivity weight flow averages. The modifications would also provide a measure of shear versus rise, and provide an estimate of short-term fluctuations of the float trajectory and record velocity profiles. If successful, MITE would have a number of applications in the physical oceanographic studies of the world's oceans.
