Summary: | Observations were made southeast of New Zealand from April 1978 to May 1980 with the objectives of investigating the dynamics of low-frequency motions and their effects on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current; and the formation of subantarctic mode water on Campbell Plateau. Self-recording instruments were deployed during a 7-month period from April to November 1978, and during an 18-month period from November 1978 to May 1980. The 7-month array consisted of 15 Aanderaa current meters and 5 Aanderaa thermistor chains. The 18-month array consisted of 3 Aanderaa current meters. Measurements from these instruments are summarized in this report through statistical tables, progressive vector diagrams, real time plots, rotary and standard spectra, and stick figures. |
