OCE-9730697 Weingartner The project is for a field study over the northern Bering Sea shelf to test new theoretical ideas about shelf convection and the spreading of ventilated waters away from the convective region. These ideas, which have now been explored in a number of publications by several investigators, propose alternatives that are significantly different from earlier ideas of ventilation by quasi- geostrophic plumes. The filed work consists of deployment of eight moorings, instrumented with Seabird temperature/salinity recorder and conventional current meters. In addition, PIs plan to acquire independent information from remote sensing on the polynya development and on surface feature tracking.

OCE-9730697 Weingartner 该项目是在白令海北方大陆架上进行实地研究，以检验关于大陆架对流和通风沃茨从对流区向外扩散的新理论构想。 这些想法，现在已经探讨了一些出版物中的几个研究人员，提出了替代方案，显着不同于早期的想法通风准地转羽流。 现场工作包括部署八个系泊设备，配备海鸟温度/盐度记录仪和常规流速计。 此外，参与者计划从遥感中获取关于冰间湖开发和地表特征跟踪的独立信息。
