Funds are provided for a cruise to collect a suite of cores from the Southwest African margin to construct several detailed depth transects to monitor the full dynamic range and stratal geometry of the mid depth water masses. The post-cruise proposed research program will establish the sensitivity of Southern Hemisphere ocean circulation to major instability during the Pleistocene and Holocene by mapping changes in the distribution of radiocarbon in benthic foraminifera over specific abrupt events to deduce the ventilation history of mid-depth water and help delineate northern vs. southern sources.

为巡航提供了资金，用于从西南非洲边缘收集一套核心，以构建几个详细的深度样本，以监视中深度水质量的完整动态范围和地层几何形状。裁决后提出的研究计划将通过绘制底栖有孔虫中放射性碳的分布的变化对特定的突然事件的放射性碳分布的变化来确定南半球海洋循环对主要不稳定的敏感性，以推导中高处的通风历史，并帮助DELINEATE Northereate Northern Northern vs. Southern sources。
