The Samoan Passage Experiment - Abyssal Transport for the South Pacific

小行星9502085 南太平洋和北太平洋之间通过萨摩亚海峡的深水物质交换将通过在斐济和塔希提岛之间穿过萨摩亚海峡和Pehring盆地绘制一条水文线来量化。水温、盐度、营养物质和溶解氧将从每30海里采集的水样中提取。该实验是世界海洋环流实验一次性水文测量的一个组成部分。

9502085 Hautala The deep water mass exchange between the South and North Pacific through the Samoan passage will be quantified by conducting an hydrographic line between Fiji and Tahiti across the Samoan passage and the Pehring basin. Water temperature, salinity, nutrients and dissolved oxygen will be extracted from water samples collected every 30 nautical miles. This experiment is a component of the one-time hydrographic survey of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE).
