Spreading of Water Masses in the South Atlantic Ocean Inferred from Volumetric Analysis Conservative Tracers

在这个项目中，PI将研究南大西洋的主要水团，并试图绘制它们通过盆地的传播路线。来自国家海洋学数据中心档案的历史水文数据将被来自南大西洋通风实验（SAVE）和世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）的新数据所补充，其中包括新的示踪数据。这些示踪剂将提供新的解释，以前仅靠温度和盐度数据是无法实现的。

In this project, the PI will study the principal water masses of the South Atlantic Ocean, and attempt to map their spreading routes through the basin. Historical hydrographic data from the National Oceanographic Data Center archive will be augmented by new data from the South Atlantic Ventilation Experiment (SAVE) and the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), which include new tracer data. These tracers will allow new interpretations, which were previously inaccessible to temperature and salinity data alone.
