Motion Induction Transport Explorer

9521134桑福德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，以从改装的ALACE浮标获得海洋传输和速度剖面观测。拟议的运动感应运输探测器(MITE)是一个ALACE浮标，增加了指南针、电极臂、放大器和新的软件。目前，ALACE浮标可以提供长达一个月的位移和电导率重量流平均值。这些修改还将提供剪切与上升的衡量标准，并提供浮动轨迹和记录速度剖面的短期波动估计。如果成功，MITE将在世界海洋的物理海洋学研究中有许多应用。

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.
