Purpose
|
|
To measure the internal wave field on the upper
|
|
continental slope over long time duration (> 1 year), and to estimate the
|
|
effects of internal waves on the transport of sediment over the slope.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Seasonal changes in the internal temperature field over the slope, with analysis of the internal waves in this region.
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
Time-series measurements (hourly) of temperature at 12 depths, currents
|
|
and light transmission at three depths for over one year. This mooring was in
|
|
450m water depth; USGS had 9 temperature sensors at 150m, 250m, 300m, 320m, 340m,
|
|
360m, 380m, 400m, and 437m; University of Washington had current meters,
|
|
conductivity gauges, temperature sensors, and light transmission meters on the
|
|
mooring at 60m, 180m, and 435m; and SUNY had sediment traps on the mooring.

Got Help?
|
For P-4-96-NC, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, NGDC Info, notes, organization, owner, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
