RDI 300 kHz ADCP, upward looking, with two meter bins from 75 to 7 m depth, and 5 min ensemble intervals. Aspond: Position: N59.7243, E10.5813 Water depth: 90 m MicroCat SBE37 CTD loggers at 89, 46, 36, 26 and 16 m depth logging with 5 min intervals. RDI 300 kHz ADCP, upward looking, with two meter bins from 84 to 6 m depth, and 5 min ensemble intervals.
Oceanography, Hydrology and Water Resources
A measure of the dissolved solids in seawater.
The zone of the ocean in which salinity increases rapidly with depth.
The degree to which an electrical current can pass through water due toions dissolved in the water. Salinity is often calculated fromconductivity and temperature.
The mass per unit volume of a substance. Oceanographic shorthand fordensity, sigma-t, may be included as a Detailed Variable.
A large body of seawater identified by its temperature and salinity.
The horizontal or vertical flow of seawater as a current.
Horizontal flow of water in an established, defined pattern.
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the vibration of water molecules.
