Geochemical Tracers in the Northeast Water Polyna

该提案是一项综合科学调查的一部分，该调查旨在研究格陵兰岛东北部附近的东北水域（NEW）冰峡的北冰洋、大气、海冰和生物特性，以获得对北极大陆架斜坡过程的综合理解。新计划的这一部分将测量营养物质和化学示踪剂，包括溶解氧、二氧化碳、人为卤化碳（氟利昂）和天然放射性核素。这些测量将有助于对冰湖的物理、生物和化学海洋学的关键方面进行表征，并作为新计划的重要合作投入。

This proposal is part of an integrated scientific investigation to study the properties of the Arctic ocean, atmosphere, sea-ice and biology in the Northeast Water (NEW) Polynya, which occurs near northeastern Greenland, in order to gain an integrated understanding of Arctic shelf-slope processes. This element of the NEW program will measure nutrients and chemical tracers including dissolved oxygen, carbon dioxide, anthropogenic halocarbons (freons) and natural radionuclides. These measurements will permit characterization of key aspects of the physical, biological and chemical oceanography of the polynya and serve as important collaborative input to the NEW Program.
