The 3He-Plume in the Eastern South Pacific: Data Analysis and Synthesis

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

In 1988, a two-year field program was completed to study the circulation and chemistry of the Helium-3 plume emanating from the East Pacific Rise. In this project, the P.I. will complete the processing and analysis of CTD data in hand, and the processing and analysis of RAFOS float data as the floats come to the surface and report the data through ARGOS communication satellites. Results will be combined with those of Riser at the University of Washington and Lupton at the University of California in Santa Barbara, to synthesize the physical and chemical description of the Helium-3 plume and westward deep circulation in the south Pacific.
