A Process Study of the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow

在这个项目中，PIS将在2000年夏季进行一次海流和水文实地调查，以研究法罗浅滩海峡内的溢流动力学。需要解决的问题包括：溢流的输送和动量平衡；溢流水如何接近基床，以及进水口是否受液压控制；以及在下行溢流中混合和夹带发生在哪里以及如何发生。将使用的主要技术将是CTDS(电导率-温度-深度-210个站)和XCPS(消耗性海流剖面仪-110个站)，并辅之以GPS校正的船舶声学多普勒海流剖面仪(ADCP)和降低ADCP。提出的高分辨率显然是该地区以前从未做过的。

Issues to be addressed include: transport and momentum balance of the overflow; how the overflow water approacheds the sill, and whether the approach is hydraulically controlled; and, where and how the mixing and entrainment occur in the descending overflow. The principal techniques to be used would be CTDs (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth -- 210 stations) and XCPs (Expendable Current Profilers -- 110 stations) supplemented with GPS-corrected ship's acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and lowered ADCP. The high resolution proposed has apparently not been done before in this region.
