U.S. GLOBEC: Long-Term Moored and Lagrangian Measurements as Part of a Georges Bank Study

9313670布林克全球经济共同体西北大西洋/乔治斯银行观测方案计划从1994年开始，为期4.5年。作为这项工作的一部分，布林克博士和他的同事们将在整个期间在银行中心、西北端和南侧部署三个系泊设备。所有系泊设备将测量电流、温度、电导率、浮游植物指标(荧光和光传输)和光合作用有效辐射。大多数部署将使用声学多普勒海流剖面仪，这也可以估计浮游动物的数量。中央系泊设备将配备一整套气象传感器。该项目还将在每一次大规模水文学巡航中部署Argos跟踪漂流船。漂流者将提供水中停留时间的定量估计和从世行首选的退出地点。该测量计划将提供河岸水域物理和生物状态的连续记录，并提供在GLOBEC乔治斯银行研究期间进行的所有其他测量的背景。该数据库将被用来了解平流和层化对岸上浮游生物种群的影响。***

9313670 Brink The GLOBEC NW Atlantic/Georges Bank observational program is planned to last for 4.5 years, beginning in 1994. As part of this effort, Dr. Brink and colleagues will deploy three moorings throughout the period at the Bank center, on the northwestern end, and on the south flank. All moorings would measure currents, temperature, conductivity, phytoplankton proxies (fluorescence and light transmission) and photosynthetically available radiation. Most deployments will use acoustic Doppler current profilers which also allow estimates of zooplankton stocks. The central mooring will be equipped with a complete suite of meteorological sensors. This project will also deploy Argos tracked drifters on each of the broad scale hydrographic cruises. The drifters will provide quantitative estimates of water residence times and preferred exit sites from the Bank. This measurement program will provide continuous records of the physical and biological status of waters over the Bank, and a context for all other measurements made during the GLOBEC Georges Bank study. The data base will be used to understand the effects of advection and stratification on the plankton population over the Bank. ***
