P17N: A WOCE Section of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling in the Northeast Pacific

在该项目中，首席调查员将支持WOCE在东北太平洋巡航P-17N，方法是收集和分析使用船载声学多普勒海流剖面仪对上层洋流进行的直接速度测量以及来自全球定位系统卫星系统的导航数据。与P-17N上的许多其他数据集相结合，这些数据将被用来处理北太平洋热量的地带性重新分配以及东部边界的热量、淡水和营养物质通量。

In this project, the principal investigator will support WOCE cruise P-17N in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, by collecting and analyzing direct velocity measurements of upper ocean currents using a shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and navigation data from the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite system. Combined with the many other data sets on P- 17N, these data will be used to address zonal redistribution of heat in the North Pacific, and heat, freshwater, and nutrient fluxes in the eastern boundary.
