9906736PriceIn this project, the PIs will carry ouit a field survey of currents and hydrography during the summer of 2000 to study overflow dynamics within the Faroe Bank Channel. 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.

9906736Price 在该项目中，PI 将在 2000 年夏季对水流和水文进行实地调查，以研究法罗河岸河道内的溢流动态。 需要解决的问题包括：溢流的运输和动量平衡；溢流水如何接近门槛，以及该接近是否是液压控制的；以及在下降溢流中混合和夹带发生的地点和方式。 将使用的主要技术是CTD（电导率-温度-深度——210个站）和XCP（一次性电流剖面仪——110个站），并辅以GPS校正的船舶声学多普勒电流剖面仪（ADCP）和降低的ADCP。所提出的高分辨率显然在该地区以前从未实现过。
