Summary of Field Work: |
We are proposing to deploy 12 surface drifters and 4 Argo profiling floats along the southeast Greenland shelf in summer 2021. These instruments will be deployed along four lines that bracket the East Greenland Coastal Current (EGCC): each line will consist of three surface drifters (one offshore of the EGCC, one in the EGCC core, and one inshore of the EGCC) and one Argo float (in the core of the current).
The first line is oriented along the OSNAP East line, starting from as close as 2 nm from the Greenland coastline to as far as 20 nm from the coastline. The exact deployment locations will depend on the location of the EGCC. The second line is located 34 NM NNE from the OSNAP East line, and will cover similar distances from the coastline. The third and fourth lines are repeats of the first and second lines, respectively, and spread out in time by at least a week from the initial deployments. Thus the ship will need to steam to the shelf on two separate occasions, and in total, stop 12 times for deployments of drifters/floats. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The deployments can be done by the PI with the assistance of another member of the OOI science party. The shipboard ADCP will be used during the crossings of the coastal current to correctly identify its location. |
