我国Argo浮标的设计与研究

Progress of China ARGO Float

自沉浮式剖面探测浮标是一种海洋观测平台,首先应用在国际Argo计划,故又称之为Argo浮标,专用于海洋次表层温、盐、深剖面测量。仪器布放后自行在大海中工作2a以上,直至电源耗尽;2004年11月8日实验的Argo浮标潜入深度已达到1900m,历时两年的浮标研究工作,在下潜深度、上浮水面、剖面测量、数据处理、卫星传递数据等功能上已经达到国际Argo组织的要求。文章详细阐述了剖面浮标的设计与研制内容和各种试验项目及所得数据,不仅为浮标设计提供科学的实测数据,还为今后该仪器产品化进程提供大量可靠依据和检测方法。

Based on neutral float technology, Automatic Profiling Float is widely applied to ARGO Project, and so is named as ARGO Float. The development of China ARGO Float (China Ocean Profiling Explorer-COPEX) begun in 2001.At present ocean experiments have carried with COPEX and very satisfactory results have been gained in automatic control, profiling measurement, data processing and satellite communication etc. the max profiling depth is more than 1900m. This paper introduces the design characteristics and kinds of test data and provides reliable grounds and test methods for perfecting of COPEX and its commercialization.
