Data report for current meters on mooring Nares-1, 1983-84; Nares Abyssal Plain. [Subseabed disposal project]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6029978
The Nares Abyssal Plain has been selected as the study area at which the Subseabed Disposal Project (SDP) will carry out a risk assessment, validate the environmental models, and perform a site characterization for the 1989 concept assessment. Additionally, and of equal importance, the Nares work will enable us to develop, in an efficient and cost-effective manner, the techniques and the tools that will make it possible to perform a reliable risk assessment and site characterization (including model validation) for any location that is likely to be selected as a potential repository site. This is the first of a series of data reports on results from current meter moorings deployed on the Nares Abyssal Plain. This information will be used for oceanographic characterization of the site, for model development and model validation, and to permit proper interpretation of different measurements from other SNL contractors. The Nares 1 current meter mooring was installed on cruise CI 8309 aboard the R/V C. ISLEN in August 1983. The recovery cruise was 13 months later in September 1984 aboard the R/V ENDEAVOR on cruise EN-121. The mooring was recovered successfully with all of the meters and sediment traps. Meter 5858 failed by leaking. The data from the other meters were of extremely high quality. The other instruments operated until recovery, with all sensors operating correctly.
