WOCE Hydrographic Program

在本项目中，PI将收集和分析水样， 放射性碳（C-14）在 太平洋水道测量线， 海洋环流实验。 将于1992年完成的线路， 1993年初将完成美国对 在南太平洋进行采样。 C-14数据将被纳入 与其他瞬态示踪剂和水文变量的数据， 和海洋环流模式，以确定大- 太平洋的尺度和长期流动特征， 应用于海洋在储热中的作用， 运输和对气候变化的影响。

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.
