Submarine-based Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) Measurements of the Arctic Ocean Upper Halocline, Including Rider Provision for Summer 1997 Scicex Cruise
Abstract
LONG TERM GOALS. The primary goal of this research is to improve our understanding of those processes in the upper Arctic Ocean which influence the heat balance and sustain the ice cover. This goal encompasses the upper halocline and includes mesoscale features including their origins, prevalence, dynamics and influence on heat transport. A secondary role of this program is to participate in assessing the potential utility of submarines as research platforms
