WOCE Indian Ocean Expedition: Transindian Hydrographic Section II

9413166莫里森该项目是对美国世界海洋环流实验(WOCE)印度洋水文计划的贡献。PI将为南8度横跨印度洋的航段提供水文支持和科学领导，该航段被指定为WOCEI-1段。I-1段是将在IO水资源计划期间进行的分区段中最北的一段，它有效地跨越了东部孟加拉湾和西部阿拉伯海的南部边界。根据将要收集的数据，PI和合作者将分别计算每个盆地的热量、盐和水的质量平衡。由于阿拉伯海是盐的主要来源，孟加拉湾是世界海洋的主要淡水来源，这些测量对于了解整个温盐环流至关重要，特别是结合其他海洋已经完成的类似纬度的部分。***

9413166 Morrison This project is a contribution to the US World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Indian Ocean Hydrographic Program (IO WHP). The PI will provide hydrographic support and scientific leadership for the trans-Indian Ocean leg along 8 degrees South, designated as WOCE section I-1. Section I-1 is the northernmost of the zonal sections to be carried out during the IO WHP, effectively crossing the southern boundaries of both the Bay of Bengal in the east and the Arabian Sea in the west. From the data to be collected, the PI and collaborators will compute separate heat, salt and water-mass budgets for each of these basins. Since the Arabian Sea is a major source of salt, and the Bay of Bengal is a major source of fresh water to the world ocean, these measurements are crucial to understanding the overall thermohaline circulation, especially in conjunction with sections at comparable latitudes already completed in the other oceans. ***
