 | | In Phase I from 1983, measurements at coastal tide gauge sites were sub-surface pressure (SSP) measurements rather than sea level (where SSP is defined as the total, measured pressure recorded by a sub-surface pressure transducer, a measurement including the atmospheric as well as the water column pressure). |
 | | The aim of the cruise was to study the influence of the Scotia Sea on global ocean circulation by undertaking a detailed hydrographic survey of a box surrounding the Scotia Sea, with CFCs, oxygen isotopes, tritium, helium and nutrients sampled as well as the traditional temperature, salinity and oxygen. |
 | | Measurements are made at two frequencies (5.3 and 13.6 GHz) and combined to minimize the errors caused by the presence of ionospheric free electrons, the total content of which is obtained as a by-product of the measurement. |
