Leeuwin Current observations on the Australian North West Shelf, May-June 1993

Observations of the Leeuwin Current, the poleward flow of warm, low salinity water off the west coast of Australia, are described from acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), temperature and salinity (CTD) and moored current meter measurements from the Australian North West Shelf made in May and June 1993. Two cross-shelf and slope transects of ADCP and CTD measurements were completed at latitudes of approximately 17 and 19S.

本研究基于1993年5月至6月在澳大利亚西北陆架获取的实测数据，对勒文海流（Leeuwin Current）——这支位于澳大利亚西海岸外、沿极向流动的暖低盐水团——进行了描述。实测资料源自声学多普勒流速剖面仪（acoustic Doppler current profiler, ADCP）、温盐仪（CTD）以及锚定海流计。研究在南纬约17°和19°处完成了两条跨陆架与陆坡的ADCP及CTD测量断面。
