SS2010_V06 [details] |
C Pattiaratchi (UWA) | Southern Surveyor Research Voyage SS2010_V06. Continental slope and shelf processes along the South West region of Western Australia during winter. Scientific Objectives Define the structure and in particular the volume flux of the Leeuwin Current (LC), including the geostrophic inflow Define the structure and the volume flux of the Leeuwin Undercurrent (LU) Examine the dynamics of Dense Shelf Water Cascades (DSWC) spatial extent, transport volume, nutrient fluxes Determine the interaction of the LC, coastal currents, DSWC and primary production dynamics during winter Obtain water samples to calibrate the bio-optical WET Labs sensors on ocean gliders Taken from the ss2010_v06 Voyage Plan. |

SS 09/2003 [details] |
Prof Charitha Pattiaratchi (University of Western Australia) | This Voyage will examine the continental shelf processes between Cape Leeuwin and the Abrolhos islands off the West Australian coast during the summer. |
FR 10/2000 [details] |
Charitha Pattiaratchi (University of WA) | To use RV Franklin together with satellite data and other instrumentation to investigate: (a) the summer circulation patterns and biological productivity along the continental shelf between Shark Bay and North-West Cape; (b) interaction between the northward coastal current and the southward Leeuwin Current at the coastal promontory at Point Cloates; (c) processes controlling the exchange of water between Shark Bay and the continental shelf including the fate of high salinity outflow from Shark Bay. |
