SS2012_V01    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 2012-04-20 00:00 to 2012-04-29 06:00 UTC

Duration: 9.25 days

Region: East Australian Current off Brisbane.

Ship: Southern Surveyor [details]

Description: Southern Surveyor Voyage ss2012-V01. Sustained Monitoring of the East Australian Current:Mass, Heat and Freshwater Transports. Scientific Objectives The East Australian Current (EAC) is a complex and highly energetic western boundary system in the south-western Pacific off eastern Australia. It provides both the western boundary of the South Pacific gyre and the linking element between the Pacific and Indian Ocean gyres. This voyage will deploy an array of full-depth current meter and property (CTD) moorings from the continental slope to the abyssal waters off Brisbane (26oS). At this location the EAC, north of the high eddy variability, the approaching its maximum strength and its flow is relatively uniform and coherent. The aim of this observing system is to capture the mean and time-varying flow of the EAC. This a component of IMOS, and will provide an intensive reference set of measurements of the EAC flow over sustained period for monitoring EAC transport, improved understanding of relationship of EAC and the South Pacific gyre and impact of the coastal marine ecosystem, and validation and interpretation of the current system in numerous climate and ocean models. The mooring array is located on the existing long-term XBT transects, satellite altimetry and glider tracks. The EAC deep mooring array will be complemented by a Queensland- IMOS operated inshore mooring array on the continental shelf region.(Extract from the voyage plan, please see plan for full details.)
