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 11 temperature sensors at 150m, 200m, 250m,
300m,
320m, 340m, 360m, 380m, 400m, 420m, 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-7-96-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.
