Conditional Sampling, Bottom Pressure and Density Array Measurements in HEBBLE.
Abstract
The objective of the HEBBLE program is to understand the various chemical, geological, physical, and biological processes occurring in the Benthic Boundary Layer (BBL) in the high energy region of an undercurrent. Many investigators have been working on this project since 1977. The UNH portion of this effort during the past year lay in exploring three basic areas and consolidating our interests into a proposal for participation in the HEBBLE measurement program. The three areas of HEBBLE effort this past year are: (1) General participation in HEBBLE planning/meetings; (2) Exploration of the signal levels and our ability to make moored density array measurements in the BBL; and (3) Development of conditional sampling techniques in relation to the central instrument package. Our proposal, 'A Study of the Deep Flow in the HEBBLE Region,' (Appendix A) has been prepared and submitted. It proposes to move our present work in bottom pressure gradient measurements from the continental shelf into the deep ocean.
