A Tracer Release Experiment in the Greenland Sea

货车Scoy OCE-9529605 一种惰性且安全的化学示踪剂将在格陵兰岛中心释放 1996年夏季期间研究混合、对流和环流的海洋环流 在环流内，以及与周围的沃茨交换，并流入 穿过丹麦海峡。示踪剂将于11月取样 1997年3月，冬季对流之前，冬季期间或刚过 1997年5月，又一次发生对流。还将在周围采集样本 在1998年期间，在沃茨和横跨丹麦海峡的巡航中研究路径 和水的质量交换率。这项工作是与欧洲合作 科学家（欧洲次极地海洋方案第二阶段），并为 世界海洋环流实验。

Van Scoy OCE-9529605 An inert and safe chemical tracer will be released in the center of the Greenland Sea gyre during the summer of 1996 to study mixing, convection and circulation within the gyre, as well as exchange with the surrounding waters, and flow into the North Atlantic through the Denmark Strait. The tracer will be sampled in November 1996, prior to winter convection, in March 1997, during or just after winter convection, and again in May 1997. Samples will also be taken in the surrounding waters and across the Denmark Strait on cruises through 1998 to study the paths and rates of water mass exchange. This work is in collaboration with European scientists (European Subpolar Ocean Programme Phase 2) and contributes to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE).
