U.S. GLOBEC: Measuring Transport of the Copepods Calanus and Pseudocalanus Across the Boundaries of Georges Bank

9632596戴维斯美国乔治斯银行西北大西洋实地研究计划第二阶段的一个主要目标是研究目标物种从乔治斯银行的迁入和迁出(来源、保留和损失)。为此，建议进行一项实地研究，其中将使用浮游生物录像机进行重点高分辨率采样，以量化在桡足类Calanus和Pseudocalanus在春季种群发育期间跨越海岸边界的平均和周期性运输过程。将研究的主要环流过程包括：1)桡足类沿海岸北缘的流入或来源；2)环流的闭合程度和桡足类的滞留；3)桡足类的损失，这是由于平均沿陆架向西流动，以及由涡旋和暖核环向南的海岸桡足类的剥离。该项目将与Brink等人合作开展。SeaSoar/(VPR)研究(9632349)。***

9632596 DAVIS A major goal of the U.S. GLOBEC Northwest Atlantic Field Studies Phase 2, Georges Bank Program is to examine the immigration and emigration (source, retention, and loss) of target species from the Bank. Toward this end, a field study is proposed in which focused high-resolution sampling will be conducted with the Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) to quantify average and episodic transport processes that move the copepods Calanus and Pseudocalanus across the boundaries of the Bank during the spring development of these populations. The major circulation processes to be studied include: 1) the inflow or source of copepods along the northern edge of the bank; 2) the degree of closure of the gyre and retention of copepods, and 3) the losses of copepods, due to mean along-shelf flow to the west as well as detrainment of bank copepods to the south by eddies and warm-core rings. This project will be carried out collaboratively with the Brink et al. SeaSoar/(VPR) study (9632349). ***
