A Neutrally Buoyant, Upper Ocean Sediment Trap
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors have designed and deployed a neutrally buoyant sediment trap (NBST) intended for use in the upper ocean. The aim was to minimize hydrodynamic flow interference by making a sediment trap that drifted freely with ...
Eddy Seeding in the Labrador Sea: A Submerged Autonomous Launch Platform Application
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo submerged autonomous launch platforms (SALPs) were deployed at 500-m depth on a deep-water mooring in the northeastern Labrador Sea from 2007 to 2009 to automatically release profiling floats into passing warm-core ...
Measuring Upper Ocean Variability from an Array of Surface Moorings in the Subtropical Convergence Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of upper ocean variability were made in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda from an array of five surface moorings set with spacings of 16 to 53 km. The intent was to observe oceanic fronts ...
