Motion Induction Transport Explorer

这个海洋科学仪器开发项目包括一项可行性研究，以确定如何最好地实施电场测量，从而从改进的ALACE浮子上获得海洋运输和速度剖面观测。提出的运动感应传输探测器（MITE）是一种ALACE浮标，通过增加指南针、电极臂、放大器和新软件进行了改进。目前，ALACE浮子可以提供一个月的排量和电导率重量流量平均值。这些改进还将提供剪切与上升的测量，并提供浮子轨迹的短期波动估计和记录速度剖面。如果取得成功，海洋综合评估将在世界海洋的物理海洋学研究中有若干应用。

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.
