The Black Sea as a polygon of working off new technology of oceanological surveys

Abstract

At VNIRO the world's first in practice of national fisheries oceanology the technology of polygon's surveys with the help of towed on sinusoidal track carrier of sea water parameters meters, such as Aquashuttle, was worked out. Approbation of the undulator and working off the methodic of its using were fulfilled in VNIRO cruise in 1996 on the board of R/V "Yuzhmorgeologia" in the Black Sea together with the conducting of satellite experiment. Stations have been made very operatively with using of the probing complex on CTD base and cassette bathometer in the points, which were revealed by the undulator and were of particular interest. It allowed not only assign mezo- and micro-scaled whirling structures on investigated polygon, but significantly to reduce the period of survey. The developed methodic has been used during further fisheries investigations.
