Instrumentation for Shelf-Slope Arctic Acoustical Oceanography
Abstract
The instrumentation requested in this proposal will augment and enhance Arctic Ocean measurement capabilities at the University of Delaware. Current Arctic observational expertise at UDel includes moored, shipborne, and airborne sensors. The present proposal focuses on additional moored sensors to describe the surface (ice)boundary along with the water column properties as both evolve and interact in time and space. This consists of three elements, (a) Ice draft measurements with ice profiling sonar of 420 kHz;(b)Ice and Ocean velocity measurements with acoustic Doppler sonar at 75 kHz;and (c)Ocean temperature and salinity measurements with thermistor and conductivity sensor strings. The proposed funding includes equipment purchases and support salary for design, fabrication, and costs for engineering tests and equipment refurbishment after the experiment and retrieval.
