Definition
- Project: VIVALDI '91 Principal Scientists: R.T. Pollard H. Leach G. Griffiths Dates of study: April 16-May 18, 1991 Vivaldi was conceived as a series of seasonal surveys of the NE Atlantic. The Vivaldi ?91 trail combined the high spatial resolution of SeaSoar surveys with deep CTD stations spaced every 3 degrees of latitude on the tracks 300 km apart. The objectives of Vivaldi are to: 1. Calculate seasonal upper ocean heat and fresh water budgets 2. Map isopycnic potential vorticity variations from the sub-tropical gyre to the subpolar gyre. 3. Map interannual changes in the properties of water masses formed by deep convection. 4. Calculate statistics of upper ocean parameters and air sea fluxes Investigate the roles of eddies.
