SGER: Evaluation of Expendable Current Meter Mooring

9523403 Nowlin该项目将解决在偏远地区进行流速计测量的新方法的需求。 俄勒冈州州立大学的专业研究人员开发了一种一次性海流计系泊装置的各种部件，该装置目前将释放系泊装置，上升到海洋表面，并通过实时地球观测数据网卫星系统传送数据。 在这个探索性项目中，将购买三个这样的系统，在承诺购买十个部署在南极之前，将在一个可访问的位置测试三个完整的配置。 如果成功的话，1996年在“帕尔默”号考察船上进行的世界海洋环流实验巡航中，将在南极绕极流的印度洋区域部署10个系统。 这次航行的主要理由已在一项已经审查过的建议中确定，该建议将在1996财政年度建议予以支持。 虽然目前的仪表阵列将为世界海洋环流实验印度洋调查提供重要信息，但进一步测试是实际部署的必要前提。 ***

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. ***
