Objectif

Les principaux objectifs de cette campagne sont de :

  • fournir une description quasi-synoptique des circulations de surface et de sub-surface dans la Mer des Salomon et les détroits qui la relient à la circulation équatoriale ;
  • déployer une série de mouillages dans les détroits pour obtenir la variabilité temporelle de  cette  circulation ; évaluer la transformation des masses d'eau et leur mélange ;
  • documenter les échanges marges océaniques/océan.

L'approche expérimentale consiste à combiner mesures physiques, chimiques et géochimiques, ce qui permettra d'accéder à une gamme étendue d'échelles de temps et d'espace de la circulation.

Moyens d'étude : stations hydrologiques et géochimiques, profils de courant en continu par SADCP, déploiement de 11 mouillages dans la Mer des Salomon et ses détroits au nord. Le projet de rattachement est LEFE Solwara, ANR Solwara.
