Surpact: a wave-riderReverdin et al., Oceanography, april 2013 Measure C/T at 4cm depth; (and other parameters: SLP, wave spectra) LOCEAN (Reverdin et al., 2013) Developed with SMRU Test Deployements in Fromvar/ Banyuls, Prototypes Pirata / Pandora First long deployments Strasse/SPURS Tests for rain-rate (in progress) Difficulty: C drifts quickly; other C-cell (cheaper, if possible)?
The largest rain-SSS event observed by a surpact tight to a SVP drifter ~10psu 1h15mn 4cm 20cm 60cm 0hTU 6h 4h Atlantic ITCZ 7N-22W 6 July 2013
Wave spectra example of set-up(deployment > 4 moisin sub-tropical NA (SPURS)) Scattering 0.85 m/s for WS 4 to 7 m/s &1.4 m/s for WS 8 to 11 m/s wrt SSMIS/wind retrieval (100 days) (also valid for equatorial Atlantic) Retrieved winds
Floats to measure C,T closer to the surface (and other parameters: SLP, wave spectra) surplas surpact Serve to validate C,T from SVP drifters Provide stratification data in T and S (+ met info for surpact)
