9523403 Nowlin This project wi1l address the need for a new approach to making current meter measurements in remote locations. PIs at Oregon State University have developed various components of an expendable current meter mooring that will, at a present time, release its mooring, rise to the ocean surface, and transmit data via the ARGOS satellite system. In this exploratory project, three of these systems will be purchased, and three entire configurations will be tested in an accessible location prior to committing to a purchase of ten for deployment in the Antarctic. If successful, ten systems will be deployed in the Indian Ocean region of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current during a WOCE cruise on the R/V Palmer in 1996. The primary justification for this cruise has been determined in an already-reviewed proposal that will be recommended for support in FY96. While the current meter arrays will add crucial information to the WOCE Indian Ocean Survey, further testing is an essential precursor to actual deployment. ***

9523403现在，该项目将解决在偏远地区进行电流表测量的新方法的需求。俄勒冈州立大学的PIS已经开发出一种消耗式海流计系泊的各种部件，该系泊设备将在目前解开系泊，升至海面，并通过Argos卫星系统传输数据。在这个探索性项目中，将购买其中三个系统，并将在一个可访问的地点测试三个完整的配置，然后承诺购买十个在南极部署。如果成功，1996年在R/V Palmer号上进行的一次WOCE巡航期间，将在南极绕极洋流的印度洋地区部署10个系统。这次巡航的主要理由已经在一份已经审查的提案中确定，该提案将在96财年建议支持。虽然目前的仪表阵列将为WOCE印度洋调查增加关键信息，但进一步测试是实际部署的重要先兆。***
