The Drake Passage Expendable Bathythermograph

9726003彼得森该项目是对德雷克海峡上层海洋结构的季节变化和长期变化的研究。 它由美国南极计划的研究船劳伦斯M号在每次穿越时获得的高密度切片组成。这些资料将导致建立一个高质量的数据库，用以研究季节性信号的幅度和穿透深度、与大气作用力的联系以及诸如与南极绕极波有关的年际变化的影响。在1996年9月至1997年4月期间，从R/V Polar杜克号获得了6个切片。 这些探测器由该机构提供其他资金，每次巡航时由船上的科学人员发射。 继续进行的数据分析是与布宜诺斯艾利斯的阿根廷南极研究所合作进行的。

9726003PetersonThis project is a study of the seasonal variability and long term change of the upper ocean structure of the Drake Passage. It consists of high density sections obtained on each crossing by the U.S. Antarctic Program's research vessel Laurence M. Gould, using expendable bathythermographs, supplemented by expendable conductivity-temperature-depth probes.This information will lead to the establishment of a high quality data base with which to study the magnitude and depth of penetration of the seasonal signals, connections to atmospheric forcing, and the effects of interannual variations such as those associated with the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave. Six sections were obtained from the R/V Polar Duke between September 1996 and April 1997. The probes are being supplied by the institution with other funds, and are launched by the scientific shipboard personnel on each cruise. The continuing data analysis is carried out in cooperation with the Argentine Antarctic Institute in Buenos Aires.***
