2019-20 Honours project - Characterising upwelling of Circumpolar Deep Water at the Polar Front and investigating submesoscale processes associated with upwelling

The dataset was collected on the research voyage (IN2018_V05 on RV Investigator) and from satellite observations. The dataset includes in-situ data and satellite data collected at the Polar Front (PF) south of Tasmania in a region where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) has a permanent meander upstream of the Macquarie Ridge. This study characterises the upwelling of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) in a standing meander of the ACC in the PF south of Tasmania and investigates the submesoscale processes associated with upwelling.

本数据集采集自“调查者号”（RV Investigator）执行的IN2018_V05号科考航次，以及卫星观测数据。数据集包含塔斯马尼亚以南极锋（Polar Front, PF）海域的原位观测数据与卫星数据，该海域处于南极绕极流（Antarctic Circumpolar Current, ACC）在麦夸里海岭（Macquarie Ridge）上游存在永久蜿蜒的区域。本研究刻画了塔斯马尼亚以南极锋海域南极绕极流稳态蜿蜒区内的绕极深层水（Circumpolar Deep Water, CDW）上升流特征，并探究了与该上升流相关的亚中尺度过程。
