METHOD OF OPERATIONAL MAPPING OF FRONTAL ZONES IN OCEAN

摘要

ocean exploration. SUBSTANCE: hydrological parameters are recorded on section in area of exploration. Hydrological sonde is used for measurements across planned section, measurements are carried out while submersible device is periodically sunk and lifted and craft with it moves. Information is continuously recorded which makes it possible to form uninterrupted picture of distribution of hydrological parameters in depth over entire section. Besides this measurement of hydrological parameters while sonde is sunk and lifted enables dynamic errors emerging in the course of measurement in layers with high gradients of hydrological parameters to be eliminated. Measurement results makes it feasible to determine sufficiently reliably characteristics and geographical position of frontal zone in time of experiment. EFFECT: reduced time of experiment and enhanced authenticity of results. 2 dwg
