Velocity Measurements in the Malvinas Current

在这个项目中，pi将在1996年和1997年期间测量在南纬42度附近穿过阿根廷大陆斜坡的近底部速度。在9个不同深度的系泊处，从200米到5200米，将部署9个系泊，使用新开发的消耗性矢量平均流速仪，每个系泊处的温度和压力传感器位于距底部50米的高度。数据将由部署一年后发布的ARGOS发射机进行检索。第一年后将部署第二套仪器。A. Piola博士和阿根廷海军海道测量处将提供船舶支持，并在每次部署巡航期间进行海道测量。这是一项合作研究，在该奖项中，PI将在第一年的物流规划中提供少量的科学支持，并将在第二年和第三年的科学监督和分析中合作。

9503464 Whitworth In this project, the PIs will measure near-bottom velocities across the Argentine continental slope near 42 deg S. during 1996 and 1997. Nine moorings at nine different depths, ranging from 200m to 5200m will be deployed, using a newly-developed expendable vector-averaging current meter, with temperature and pressure sensors at a height of 50m from the bottom on each mooring. Data will be retrieved by an ARGOS transmitter released after one year's deployment. A second set of instruments will be deployed after the first year. Ship support will be provided by Dr. A. Piola and the Argentine Naval Hydrographic Service, and hydrographic surveys will be conducted during each deployment cruise. This is a collaborative study, and in this award the PI will provide a small amount of scientific support during the logistics planning in year 1, and will collaborate in the scientific oversight and analysis during years 2 and 3.
