Tritium-Helium Analyses for the MOC/ACCE

9531865 Jenkins在这个项目中，PI将参与两项水文调查，作为大西洋环流和气候实验的一部分，这是美国对国际世界海洋环流实验的贡献。这两次调查将涵盖1997年夏季北大西洋西经52度和西经66度的中西部海盆。具体地说，PI将为收集和分析水样中的氦-3和氚含量提供支助，以便利用它们在几个月到几十年的时间尺度上研究水团的形成和循环。这一时间尺度对ACCE的总体目标至关重要。

9531865 Jenkins In this project the PI will participate in two hydrographic surveys as part of the Atlantic Circulation and Climate Experiment (ACCE), a U.S. contribution to the International World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). The two surveys will cover the central/western basin of the North Atlantic along 52deg W and 66deg W during the summer of 1997. Specifically, the PI will provide support to collect and analyze water samples for their content of Helium-3 and Tritium in order to use them to study water mass formation and circulation on time scales ranging from a few months to a few decades. This time scale is critical to the overall objectives of ACCE.
