SGER: Seismic reflection profiling of ocean thermohaline structure in the North Atlantic Ocean

这个项目是一个为期一年的研究，旨在开始建立多通道地震剖面作为物理海洋学的工具。PI将调查哪些海洋学特征在低频反射，并获得第一个海洋物理和地震反射数据集。北大西洋现有的数据集也将用于确定这些数据集中是否存在水柱反射。更广泛的影响：这项研究将通过将不同学科的思想、工具和人员引入物理海洋学，开发一种新的方法来成像海洋中的热盐结构。这项研究还将有助于学生和博士后的教育，其中包括一名妇女和一名少数民族。

This project is a one-year study to begin to establish mulit-channel seismic profiling as a tool for physical oceanography. The PI will investigate what oceanographic features are reflective at low frequencies and to acquire the first joint physical oceanographic and seismic reflection data set. Existing datasets in the North Atlantic will also be used to determine whether water column reflections exist in those data sets. Broader Impacts: This study will develop a new approach for imaging thermohaline structure in the ocean by bringing ideas, tools and people from a different discipline into physical oceanography. The study will also contribute to the education of students and a postdoc including a woman and a minority.
