A WOCE Expedition in the Far South Indian Ocean

9528545斯威夫特这是一项关于印度洋南部深水和底层水形成的合作研究， 世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）印度洋考察（IOE）。 六个人中的六个人 各机构将完成世界海洋环境实验水文计划线的最后一段，S-4，沿沿着60度 从东经20度到东经120度。 这个程序是用来检测 Kerguelen高原是海底沃茨的重要水文边界， 此外 到水文学，该部分将包括标准示踪测量，以及氯氟烃，氦，氚， 碳-14，都符合WOCE标准。 除了纬向线外，在大约54度处， 东经96度和东经96度将调查南极斜坡锋及其相关的 向西流动。 还将在几个地点部署消耗性现有系泊设备， 年，电流沿着斜坡和Kerguelen高原的侧翼。

9528545 Swift This is a collaborative study of deep and bottom water formation in the southern sector of the Indian Ocean, as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Indian Ocean Expedition (IOE). Six PIs from six institutions will complete the final segment of the WOCE Hydrographic Program Line, S-4, along 60 degrees South from about 20 degrees East to about 120 degrees East. The program is designed to detect subtle differences across the Kerguelen Plateau, an important hydrographic boundary for bottom waters. In addition to hydrography, the section will include standard tracer measurements, as well as CFCs, Helium, Tritium, and Carbon-14, all to WOCE standards. In addition to the zonal line, two excursions to the shelf at about 54 degrees East and 96 degrees East will be made to investigate the Antarctic Slope Front and its associated westward current. Expendable current moorings will also be deployed at several locations to measure, for one year, the current along the slope and on the flanks of the Kerguelen Plateau.
