Data Summary - XCP Profiles in the Vicinity of the Faeroe Islands during October 1980.
In support of the Ocean Measurements Program in the Iceland-Faeroe (Subpolar) oceanic front region, Expendable Current Probes (XCP) were deployed at four time series stations and in four circulation regimes. Forty-six of seventy-three probes deployed transmitted usable data. We discuss data editing...

Summary: | In support of the Ocean Measurements Program in the Iceland-Faeroe (Subpolar) oceanic front region, Expendable Current Probes (XCP) were deployed at four time series stations and in four circulation regimes. Forty-six of seventy-three probes deployed transmitted usable data. We discuss data editing and matching of CTD and XCP casts. We present vertical profiles of XCP data and CTD data. We discuss the primary water types present and their relationship to the subpolar front. We discuss the determination and variation of bulk Richardson numbers. (Author) |
