Hydrographic Support to the South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment: (PROJECT SAVE)

1980年至1985年期间，国家科学基金会资助了两项测量大西洋瞬时示踪剂的运动(TTO/NAS和TTO/赤道)。一个完整的海洋盆地模拟数据库将包括一项南大西洋研究，以：1.确定二氧化碳输送及其对世界气候的影响；2.该地区主要洋流的约束模型；3.确认温跃层中新碳的添加速度增加了5倍。这项研究的八个组成部分(SAVE)将由来自LDGO、普林斯顿、华盛顿大学、WHOI和SIO的研究人员进行。这些科学家在赤道和北大西洋成功地完成了以前的研究，这为他们奠定了良好的记录。他们将提供物理和化学专业知识，这些专业知识将被用于合作努力，以实现地球化学研究的目标。这一部分将提供船上技术服务和设备，收集、分析和记录船上的数据，并在每一段结束时向科学家提供初步的CTD数据磁带，同时将在实验的最后几年进行最终数据处理、仪器校准和准备打印报告和9轨数据磁带。

Two campaigns to measure transient tracers in the Atlantic Ocean (TTO/NAS and TTO/Equatorial) were funded by NSF during the period from 1980 to 1985. A complete data base for modelling this ocean basin would include a South Atlantic Study to: 1.Determine CO2 transports and their influence on world climate, 2.Constrain models of major ocean currents in this area, and 3.Confirm an observed 5-fold increase in the addition rate of new carbon to the thermocline. Eight components of such a study (SAVE) will be performed by investigators from LDGO, Princeton, University of Washington, WHOI, and SIO. The track record of these scientists is well established by successful completion of previous studies in the Equatorial and North Atlantic. They will provide physical and chemical expertise which will be directed toward a cooperative effort to reach the goals of the geochemical study. This component will provide shipboard technical services and equipment for the collection, analysis, and recording of the data aboard ship and making available preliminary CTD data tapes to scientists at the end of each leg while final data processing, instrument calibration and the preparation of a printed report and 9-track data tapes will be carried out during the final years of the experiment.
