A. Forbes (CSIRO) | This information was taken from the Cruise Plan. 1. Acoustic Thermometry of the Indian Ocean The long-term objective of the project is to measure climate scale temperature change in the Indian Ocean. This involves the following more immediate objectives, all aimed at preparing for a future installation of an acoustic source on the seabed. Map the sound speed structure to find the axial depth of the SOFAR channel in the vicinity of Cocos Is. Conduct a detailed bathymetric survey of the acoustic source site. Conduct a detailed bathymetric survey of the proposed cable route to shore 2. COOE Float Deployment Principal Investigator: Dr. Susan Wijffels Objectives Deployment of up to four profiling PALACE floats to track the South Equatorial Current. At each deployment position along 120S, conduct a 2000m CTD cast. 3. Muirfield Seamount Reconnaissance Survey Principal Investigator: Graeme Beech, Environment Australia, Canberra, ACT Objectives: Undertake a preliminary assessment of the geomorphology and fauna of Muirhead Seamount, S of Cocos Is.
