What's New
March, 2005: We are preparing for Switchyard 2005. New for this year will be deployment of an ADCP = Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, a sensor that uses sound to measure ocean currents. Wendy Ermold is shown here, "talking" to the instrument in her office. We will deploy the ADCP in the surface of the lead, pointing down into the ocean. It will measure the currents down to about 150 m, with several meter resolution. This will help us calibrate the ocean current data we obtain in other ways(i.e., from the XCP and CTD).
