I NTRODUCT ION
The Joint Air-Sea Interaction project (JASIN) was a multi-national
program initiated in 1966 by the Royal Meteorological Society (U.K)b the
major field experiment was conducted in July to September 1978 northwest
of Scotland in the northern end of Rockall Trough. Some fourteen ships,
four aircraft, nine countries, and sixty principal investigators
participated. Pollard (1978) provides an overview of the JASIN 1978
experiment.
Work done by participants from the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution included the deployment of moored current meters and
meteorological instrumentation (see Tarbell, et. al., 1979), hydrographic
work from the ATLANTIS II (A-II) (see Pennington and Briscoe, 1979),
shipboard meteorological measurements (see Briscoe, et. al., 1979), and
temperature measurements from moored Aanderaa thermistor chains, XBTs,
and the freely 3rifting Vertical Current Meters (VCMs). This data report
contains a description of the Aanderaa thermistor chain, XBT, and VCM
components of the JASIN work and summaries of the three data sets.
Figure 1 shows the overall JASIN are z and the Fixed Intensive Array
(FIA) where most of the JASIN moorings were located. The FIA is detailed
in the lower left of Figure 1. Mooring Kl from the Institut fur
Meereskunde (Kiel, F. R. Germany), moorings Bl-B4 from Oregon State
University, and mooring H2 from NOAA/PMEL in Seattle are shown for
reference.
The Vertical Current Meters were deployed to track the horizontal
velocity field in the vicinity of thý: moorings and to provide a direct jmeasurement of the vertical component of velocity and of temperature as
they drifted. The Aanderaa TR-I thermistor chain was deployed to
investigate the vertical structure of the temperature variability at the
location of moorin, W3. The XBTs were taken to collect information on
the spatial variability of the temperature field in the vicinity of the
FIA. This data report is divided into three parts, Parts 1, 2, and 3
cover the Vertical Current Meters, Aanderaa thermistor chains, and XBTs,
respectively.

Vertical Current Meters (VCM)
A A The VCds are neutrally buoyant, free-floating instruments which are
ballasted to sink to a predetermined depth. While floating at that depth
the instrument makes measurements of the vertical velocity relative to
itself, of pressure, and of temperature. Three instruments, VCM #1,
V04 #2, and VCM #5, were deployed during JASIN in a total of ten
different drops. The area within which the floats drifted is shown in
Figure 2.
Relative vertical current is sensed by an array of vanes mounted
axially around the float, Fig. 3. Because the float compressibility is
less (about 1/2) than that of the water, vertical motions in the water
generate relative vertical flow past the vanes causing the entire float
to rotate. This rotation ii. sensed relative to an internal compass. The
sum of the pressure change (float vertical motion) and the rotation ofthe float (flow relative to the float) is a measure of total vertical
water displacement, with a resolution of about 2 cm. The temperature
measurement is accurate to about 0.0100 C. On some VCMs (VCM-DT),
temperature difference was measuzed by thermistors placed 1 m apart along
the outside of the pressure housing. The accuracy is about .0020C
(Dean, 1979). The calibration of float rotation to vertical displacement
was done using a plot of relative displacement, proportional to float
turns, vs. pressure as the instrument sank during deployment. From the
slope of this curve the calibration constant was determined.
The VCM floats used in JASIN were weighed in a fresh water tank at
Woods Hole and ballasted to be neutrally buoyant at a selected surface
temperature and salinity standard of l1.0 0 C and 35.320/,,. The ballast
was then adjusted for depth based on in situ temperature and salinity at
the desired depth. The VCM float constants are approximately
0.0804 gm/meter ballast for depth,
0.332 gm/°C temperature correction,
27 gm/0/00 salinity correction.
A summary of desired depths and actual depths is included in Table 1.

SThe VCM includes an AMF acoustic release receiver and a release of
: Wi'.O.I. design. On command from the ship, or on preset command from an
internal timer, the float drops a 900 gm weight and returns to the surface A
for recovery. A flashing light turns on at release time, and the "ping"
rate doubles to confirm release. Four hydrophones, two on each side of the
ship, were streamed for the purpose of tracking the VCMs. During JASIN,
however, the need for the ATLANTIS II to participate during parts of every
day in other experimental work made detailed tracking of the floats
impossible. The acoustic tracking capability and the light simplify 4
finding the float on the surface in spite of its low profile in the water.
Nine recoveries were made under a variety of weather and light conditions
during this cruise. An instrument was lost on the fifth drop during
recovery operations.
For further references on VCM design and performance, see Burt et al
(1974), Dorson (1974), and Voorhis (1971).
Data recorded each 16 seconds on a digital data cassette recorder
include average temperature, as temperature difference (in the VCM-DT
models), and pressure for the record interval; accumulated turns at the
time of recording; and total number of record intervals since a reference
time zero. Preliminary data processing aboard ship consists of reading the Idata cassette and producing a computer compatible 9-track data record.
Data from the 9T tape could be listed and plotted on the Calcomp in
engineering units for an early check on quality and a preliminary
scientific evaluation.
Table 1 summarizes the VCM performance. There were 11 days, 37 hours
of good data records. Drop 6 could not be decoded. Drop 1 was a short
duration test deployment. Drop 5 ended with the loss of VCM #1 during
recovery. Drops 2, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 were conducted in the vicinity ofmooring W2, and drop 3 was conducted to the southeast of mooring W2
(Fig. 4). The floats deployed near W2 drifted to the northwest or west.
Drops 7 and 8 and drops 9 and 10 were simultaneous deployments of two
floats. The float deployed during drop 3 drifted to the southeast.
Figures 5-12 give time series of pressure, temperature, tdif., and
float rotation, labelled turns. The floats' pressure record shows that the
7
instruments oscillated with an amplitude of upwards of 20 meters. Verticalwater displacement time series, calculated from the pressure and rotationrecords and averaged over 12 minute intervals, are shown in Fig. 13.Upward displacement of the water was observed by the VCMs deployed during
JASIN.

Aanderaa Thermistor Chains
Three Aanderaa thermistor chains (TR-l) were deployed on W.H.O.I.
mooring 653, identified in JASIN as mooring W3. The recording packages
of the instruments were each held in a stainless steel bracket with a
strength member that fastened in-line with the mooring. The thermistor
chains were attached to the wire rope of the mooring with spiral shaped
plastic coils (com,.tonly used for wrapping bundles of wires together).
Two of the Aenderaa thermistor chains deployed during JASIN failed to
record any data because the magnetic tape became fouled around the tape
drive capstan, early in the experiment. The problem occurred because the
lower take-up spool did not maintain the proper tension in the tape which
allowed the tape to go slack and eventually foul. Subsequent
investigations revealed that in the two instruments that failed the shaft
on which the lower take-up spool turns was of an older design whereas the
corresponding take-up spool had undergone modifications. When this
assembly was subject,ýd to cold temperatures, it became jammed which in
turn let the tape go slack. The instrument which functioned properly
during the experiment did not have this mismatch of new and old
components. 1
The data from the one instrument that did work has been presented in
two ways. First, the temperatures recorded by the thermistors (at 31,
34, 37, 40, 43, 46, 49, 52, 55, and 58 m depths, nominally) have been
plotted. Second, isotherm depths (for the 13.0, 12.8, 12.6, 12.4, 12.2,
12.0, 11.8, 11.6, 11.4, 11.2, 11.0, 10.8, 10.6, 10.4, 10.2, 10.0, 9.8,
9.6, 9.4, and 9.2 0 C isotherms) have been plotted. In both cases the
scales have been chosen to match the scales used in the Oregon State
University data reports covering their JASIN thermistor chain data.

XBT Data
Some 169 XBTs (expendable bathythermographs) were dropped from
ATLANTIS II during the JASIN experiment. Figure 17 shows the area in
which the XBTs were dropped. Table 2 lists the time, location, and
bucket temperature associated with each drop. Figure 18 shows the
patterns of the XBT drop locations.
EXBT System
The standard Sippican Co. Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) bridge
and recording system has an indicated temperature scale of -2 0 C - 350 C,
approximately 50C/inch and a depth scale of 100 meters/inch. These fixed
scales are somewhat awkward when one is working in regions of the ocean
where the temperature of the entire water column varies by as little as
20C. To overcome these limitations we replaced the Sippican XBT bridge
and recorder with a simple and inexpensive bridge. We utilized an
Hewlett Packard strip chart recorder (model 7100B) to plot the output
from the bridge. Figure 19 illustrates the difference between the EXBT
scales and the standard Sippican XBT recorder scales.
Theory of Operation
The Sippican XBT probe consists of a molded projectile with a
thermistor recessed in the nose, which falls through-the water column at
an approximately constant rate. The resistance of the thermistor is
sensed through a copper wire which unwinds from a spool contained within
the projectile (see Fig. 20a) and from a second spool remaining in the
launcher.
The thermistor's resistance, RT, decreases about 5% per degree
centigrade temperature increase. In addition to the resistance change of
interest, the resistance of the copper wire, Rc, and the sea water
to ship's ground, Rsw, vary continuously. Figure 20c details the
resistance involved in the primary and secondary measurement loops. Thesecondary loop is identical to the primary loop except that it does not
contain a thermistor.

The expanded scale XBT recording syste,1 is comprised of the new
bridge and analog recorder (Fig. 21). The bridge consists of a precision
voltage source, a dual constant cu'rrent source, and a differential
amplifier (Fig. 2?). The constant current source supplies two identical
currents which flow through the primary anI secondary loops of the XBT
probe arnd sea-water-t;hip ground path (Fig. 20c). The constant current
I flowing in the primary loop results in potential Vlt
V1 I (R + R+ R)1sw c t
The current I in the secondary loop results in a potential V2 :
V -I (R + R)2 sw c
The resistance variation Rt can be isolated by monitoring the
differential voltage V - V1 2
Rt - (V1 - v2)/I
The analog recorder is then used to record an output from the bridge
proportional to Rt.
Below are given the resistance and temperature values supplied by
Sippican Co. (Sippican Manual R-467B, Table 5-1) used to obtain R(T)
and T(R) for interpretation of EXBT data. Also given below is the
relationship between elapsed time and depth of the XBT probe.

Data
The individual traces of XBT data have been grouped in sections
and are presented in Figure 26. The depths of the 12.50, 120, 110, 100 4 -
and 96C isotherms are indicated. Figures 23 and 24 are included to show i Ithe variation in the T-S relation encountered in the JASIN area. Colder#
fresher water was found to the north and warmer, saltier water to the
south (Figure 25).
