SOME

The construction of four seafloor recording magnetometers, to the Flinders University design, was completed during February 1996, and the instruments transported to Hobart. In April they were taken on the Antarctic Vessel Aurora Australis (Voyage 6 of 1995-96) and deployed from the ship at sites Bruny (48 42' S, 144 44' E), Huon (49 49' S, 144 19' E), Rossel (50 38' S, 143 49' E) and Girardin (51 45' S, 143 17' E). In deployment, the instruments were placed to investigate the conductivity structure of the Southern Ocean Spreading Ridge (Figure 13). The magnetometers will be deployed on the floor of the Southern Ocean for a year, and time for their recovery is scheduled for Voyage 6 (1996-97) of the Aurora Australis, to take place in March 1997. The region is also a place of concentration of the Antarctic Circum-polar Current (ACC). An important reason for the timing of SOMEx is to record simultaneously with a major international oceanographic experiment in the ACC, for which a deployment of instruments took place in March 1995, and which will run for two years. It is expected that there will be benefits from an exchange of data between the ACC experiment and SOMEx. The ACC experiment is part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). SOMEx is a collaborative study between the Australian National University and Flinders University of South Australia. Information provided by http://rses.anu.edu.au/seismology/ar96/geomag.html (en)
