Collaborative Research: Tritium-Helium Dating on WOCE Sections in the Indian Ocean

9401989 Jenkins在该项目中，PI将获得、分析和解释世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）印度洋水文计划的七个部分的氚/氦-3样本。 PI将采集、处理和分析2176个氚样本和2256个He-3样本。 此外，PI还将为船上处理Tr/He-3样品提供后勤支持，这些样品将由印度洋WHP上的其他小组获得。 这种示踪剂的使用将集中在上大洋俯冲，通风和循环;水团特征的识别，各种水团制度之间的交换，特征，各种水团制度之间的交换，印度尼西亚洋流的路径和通量，以及氧气利用率和初级生产率。

9401989 Jenkins In this project, the PI will obtain, analyze, and interpret Tritium /Helium-3 samples on seven sections of the Hydrographic Program in the Indian Ocean for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). The PIs will acquire, process, and analyze 2176 Tritium samples and 2256 He-3 samples. In addition the PIs will provide logistical support for the shipboard processing Tr/He-3 samples to be obtained by other groups on the Indian Ocean WHP, as well. Use of this tracer will focus on upper ocean subduction, ventilation, and circulation; identication of water mass characteristics, exchange among various water mass regimes, characteristics, exchange among various water mass regimes, pathways and flux of the Indonesian Throughflow, and rates of oxygen utilization and primary production.
