Summary of Field Work: |
We propose to observe the coastal region off Point Loma, CA, for coastal upwelling events. The motivation for this work is threefold: first, this work will be a unique training opportunity for graduate students to design, coordinate and conduct ship-based field experiments as well as teaching and mentoring students. Second, it will provide instruction at sea for high school students in the UCSD Academic Connections program. Finally, this work will contribute to improving and validating our understanding of local coastal upwelling processes in the San Diego region.
Two cross shelf CTD sections will be completed on two separate day-long cruises to collect continuous underway ADCP velocity profiles as well as CTD profiles of temperature and salinity along the transect line. Full depth station casts will be made at 3 stations, at 50 m, 65 m and 80 m depth for each transect using the ship CTD. These casts will provide a measure of cross-shelf stratification and also show the evolution of density in time. A moored vertical thermistor array and bottom mounted ADCP will be deployed in approximately 20 m of water on the first day cruise on July 6th and recovered on July 22nd. This mooring will provide continuous temperature and velocity measurements of the full water column for 16 days. These observations will resolve rapid changes in the vertical temperature profile caused by upwelling events and measure associated velocities. These two day long cruises and mooring deployment are scheduled in July, during the summer season where upwelling events have been previously observed off Point Loma. |

Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need a CTD rosette, ADCP and A-frame for the deployment of the moored thermistor chain and bottom-mounted ADCP which will be provided by Scripps Institution of Oceanography Marine Physical Laboratory. |
