0083268 McCartney/WHOIA moored array will be deployed in the Vema Fracture Zone, a deepchannel between the Guiana Basin and the eastern N. Atlantic through which bottom water from the Antarctic eneters the eastern N. Atlantic.The array of instruments will directly measure the transport and lateral structure of deep and bottom water flowing through the restricted channel and indirectly measure the degree of mixing and its variability. The instruments will stay in the water for roughly one year. The moored array will consist of four newly developed profiling moorings togetherwith two more traditional curren meter moorings. Apart from the sciencequestions that are the focus of the experiment, a by-product will be acomparison of new and traditional approaches to measuring abyssal circulation.

0083268 McCartney/Whoia停泊的阵列将部署在Vema裂缝区域，圭亚那盆地和东北大西洋之间的深通道，从南北大西洋底部的水底部的水通过，乐器的阵列将直接测量仪器的阵列，并衡量的是，该阵列的运输和底层的水平和底层的水平和底层的水平以及隔离水平的隔离度和距离隔离。这些乐器将在水中停留大约一年。 停泊的阵列将由四个新开发的谱系系泊组成，并将两个传统的冰卷仪表系在一起。 除了实验重点的科学问题外，副产品还包括测量深渊循环的新方法和传统方法。
