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.

t servicing/replacement, and mooring redeployment

Got Help?
|
For W-1-97-NC, we would appreciate any information on -- analog materials, contract, days at sea, dive count, funding, kms of navigation, NGDC Info, organization, owner, project number, publications, scanned materials, seismic description, station count, station description, submersible, tabulated info.
