An improved understanding of upper ocean circulation and thermocline ventilation in the South Atlantic Ocean will be achieved through the use of passive chemical tracers. The analysis will be based on the use of the high quality three-dimensional tracer and hydrographic dataset collected in the Atlantic ocean during the 1980's and simple numerical models to estimate the rate and pathways of ventilation of thermocline waters.

通过使用被动化学示踪剂，将更好地了解南大西洋上层海洋环流和温跃层通风情况。分析将基于使用1980年代在大西洋收集的高质量三维示踪剂和水文数据集以及简单的数值模型，以估计温跃层沃茨的通风速率和途径。
