Simultaneous measurements of ocean current, temperature and salinity measurements to determine the oceanography of McMurdo Sound
Entry ID: K131_2004_2007_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: McMurdo Sound forms a natural and accessible laboratory for understanding the fundamental processes that underpin ice-ocean interactions. How changes in the sea ice sheet affect the physical oceanography of McMurdo Sound and Antarctica's coastal seas in general was investigated. A simultaneous set of ocean current, temperature and salinity was measured to provide a coherent snapshot of the sounds ... View entire text
