Collaborative Research: Agulhas-South Atlantic Thermohaline Transport Experiment (ASTTEX)

[0099177]提出了ByrneA野外实验，该实验将提供从Agulhas反射区到南大西洋亚热带环流的盐、热和物质输送的多年时间序列。该项目将部署反向回声测深仪，包括带和不带压力传感器和近底部电流计。现场数据将得到卫星数据的补充，包括海温和测高数据。历史数据也将包括在数据分析中。该计划的成功主要基于一项新技术GEM-ETTA，该技术用于分析IES（反向回声测深仪）和pie（压力和反向回声测深仪）数据。对实地数据的分析结合对历史数据的再分析，将提供年际尺度上这些盆地间通量的第一个长期时间序列。

0099177 ByrneA field experiment is proposed, which will provide multi-year time series of salt, heat, and mass transports from the Agulhas retroflection region into the South Atlantic subtropical gyre. The program will deploy inverted echo sounders, both with and without pressure sensors and near-bottom current meters. The in situ data will be complemented with satellite data, both SST and altimetry. Historical data will also be included in the data analysis. The success of the program is based substantially on a new technique, GEM-ETTA, for analyzing IES (inverted echo sounder) and PIES (pressure and inverted echo sounder) data. Analysis of the field data in conjunction with reanalysis of historical data will provide the first long-term time series of these inter-basin fluxes on interannual scales.
