- Abstract:
- We will undertake the first ever comprehensive hydrographic transect along the North Scotia Ridge, additionally measuring dissolved oxygen, nutrients (silicate, nitrate and phosphate) and current profiles. We will deploy current meter moorings at the three sills of Shag Rocks Passage. The mean and time dependent transfer of deep waters across the ridge is an important but as yet unmeasured, component of the present-day global thermohaline circulation.
