Bottom Stationed Ocean Profiler
نویسندگان
چکیده
The long term project goal is development and utilization of a bottom stationed autonomous ocean profiler for enhanced physical chemical and biological measurements in the coastal ocean.. The system is designed to allow bi-directional satellite communcation, user programmability, and data storage and transmission in near real-time. It is envisioned that deployments of large numbers of BSOP systems, each equipped with a highly capable sensor suite, will provide synoptic, very low cost observations of the marine environment.

متن کاملMoored observations of bottom-intensified motions in the deep Canada Basin, Arctic Ocean
In the deep Canada Basin, below the sill depth (about 2400 m) of the Alpha-Mendeleyev Ridge, potential temperature and salinity first increase with depth, then remain uniform from about 2600 m to the bottom (approximately 3500 m). Year-long moored measurements of temperature, salinity and pressure in these deep and homogeneous bottom waters reveal significant vertical excursions with periods of...

A survey of the current field over the South Scotia Ridge, obtained with a lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (LADCP), is presented. There is a pattern of northward (southward) flow on the western (eastern) side of each of four deep passages in the ridge, which is supported by tracer measurements. The net full-depth LADCP-referenced geostrophic transport over the ridge is 2277 Sv (1 Sv=1...
متن کاملFarfield tracing of a point source discharge plume in the coastal ocean using sulfur hexafluoride.
Pathways and dilution of a point source ocean discharge in the farfield (approximately to 10-66 km) were measured using the deliberate tracer sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). The injection of SF6 was performed by bubbling the gas over a period of 6 days into an ocean outfall pipe discharging into the southeast Florida coastal ocean. The surface SF6 concentrations show that the discharged water flowed...
متن کاملEstimating ocean heat transports and submarine melt rates in Sermilik Fjord, Greenland, using lowered acoustic Doppler current profiler (LADCP) velocity profiles
Submarine melting at the ice–ocean interface is a significant term in the mass balance of marine-terminating outlet glaciers. However, obtaining direct measurements of the submarine melt rate, or the ocean heat transport towards the glacier that drives this melting, has been difficult due to the scarcity of observations, as well as the complexity of oceanic flows. Here we present a method that ...
