Measurement and Interpretation of Chlorofluorocarbon Distributions in the Tasman Sea (WOCE Hydrographic Section P6W)

在这个项目中，作为世界海洋环流实验P-6水文学计划的一部分，国际和平研究所将与另外两个机构的国际和平研究所合作，从沿32|S从智利到澳大利亚的太平洋水文邮轮的三个不同航段采集的水样测量氯氟化碳(F-11和F-12)。这个特别的项目将特别关注新西兰和澳大利亚之间的西部地区。随后，将在紧随P-6之后的一次巡航中，沿着177|W(P-14C)子午线收集类似的数据。数据将被用来检查在南太平洋西部盆地发现的水团的通风和循环。

In this project, the PI will collaborate with PI's from two other institutions to measure Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), F-11 and F-12, from water samples collected on three separate legs of a hydrographic cruise along 32|S in the Pacific from Chile to Australia as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Hydrographic Program (WHP) (referred to as WOCE line P-6). This particular project will focus specifically on the western portion between New Zealand and Australia. Subsequently, similar data will be collected on a meridional line along 177|W (P-14C), on a cruise immediately following P-6. Data will be used to examine ventilation and circulation of water masses found in the western basin of the South Pacific Ocean.
