WOCE SAMBA experiment float data

during the world ocean circulation experiment, 100 marvor floats were launched near 800 dbar mostly in the brazil basin, within the framework of samba (subantartic motions in the brazil basin).this experiment aimed at describing the absolute general circulation of the antarctic intermediate water around 800 m depth in the south atlantic. marvor floats cycled every 2 (or 3) months between their nominal depth and surface to transmit data via the argos system and were programmed for 30 (or 20) cycles, i.e. a total life of 5 years.

在世界海洋环流实验期间，于800 dbar附近，主要在巴西盆地释放了100个Marvor漂流浮标，该实验是在Samba（巴西盆地的副南极运动）框架下进行的。此次实验旨在描述南大西洋800米深度附近南极中层水的绝对总体环流。Marvor漂流浮标每2（或3）个月在其标称深度与海面之间循环一次，通过Argos系统传输数据，并进行了30（或20）次循环的编程，即总寿命为5年。
