| Comments: | The SBI (Shelf-Basin-Interaction) program of NSF investigates the processes of transfer and interaction between the ocean shelves, slopes and deep basins. The focus region of this five-year multi-investigator program is the shelf/slope/basin region of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. Under ONR sponsorship with NSF ship support, twelve oceanographic moorings have been deployed in the region from autumn 2002- 2004. Four moorings, [Weingartner (UAF), Aagaard (UW) & Woodgate (UW)], measure the flows from the Chukchi Sea into the Arctic, via Barrow Canyon, Herald Canyon and the Central Channel. Eight moorings [Pickart (WHOI)] are deployed in a closely spaced array to investigate the eddy and frontal processes of transfer across and along the Beaufort slope. http://psc.apl.washington.edu/HLD/SBI2003/SBIHealy2003.html |
