Winter 2001 Convection in the Japan Sea

这个项目是作为对西伯利亚东部异常寒冷冬季条件的快速反应而进行的实验。隆冬的情况似乎与1976年的情况相当。目的是发现在这种条件下，日本海深层对流穿透的深度，典型对流斑块的大小，以及形成的致密水的性质。这次试验包括在符拉迪沃斯托克以南的日本海进行一次短途巡航。地点的选择是基于去年冬天在日本海进行的调查工作，这是onr赞助的一项大型实验的一部分，最近的AVHRR图像，以及最近在日本海的PALACE浮标的数据。深层CTD和瓶子模型将在彼得大帝湾以南的大约34个站点进行。这项努力是美国和俄罗斯海洋学家之间的合作。

Talley/0117271This project is an experiment conducted as a rapid response to the anomalously cold winter conditions over eastern Siberia. Mid-winterconditions appear to be comparable to those seen in 1976. The goals are to discover the depth to which deep convection penetrates under such conditions in the Sea of Japan, the size of a typical convective patch, and the properties of the dense water formed. The experiment consists of a short cruise into a part of the Sea of Japan south of Vladivostok. The choice of location is based on survey work conducted last winter as part of a large ONR-sponsored experiment in the Japan Sea, recent AVHRR imagery, and recent data from a PALACE float in the Sea of Japan. Deep CTD and bottle casts will be made at approximately 34 stations south of Peter the Great Bay. The endeavor is a collaboration between U.S. and Russian oceanographers.
