WOCE Hydrographic Program

在这个项目中，PI将收集和分析太平洋水文测量线上的水样，以确定放射性碳（C-14）的浓度和分布，作为世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）的一部分。1992年和1993年初将完成美国对南太平洋取样的贡献。C-14数据将与其他瞬态示踪剂和水文变量的数据以及海洋环流模式相结合，以确定太平洋的大尺度和长期流动特征，并应用于海洋在热储存、热输送和对气候变率的影响方面的作用。

In this project, the PI will collect and analyze water samples for concentration and distribution of radiocarbon (C-14) on hydrographic survey lines in the Pacific, as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). Lines to be done in 1992 and early 1993 will complete the coverage of the US contribution to sampling in the South Pacific. C-14 data will be incorporated with data on other transient tracers and hydrographic variables, and with ocean general circulation models, to determine the large- scale and long-term flow characteristics in the Pacific, with application to the role of the ocean in heat storage, heat transport, and the effects on climate variability.
