Temperature, salinity and current turbulence along an east to west transect across McMurdo Sound
Entry ID:
K131_2007_2010_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
The oceanography of McMurdo Sound was investigated by collecting current meter data, water samples, ice cores, under ice turbulence and Conductivity (salinity)-Temperature-Depth (CTD) profiles of the full depth of the water column were collected along an east to west transect across the sound. At each site, approximately 5 kms apart, a hole was drilled in the ice, observations of temperature, ...
