Circulation of Tritium in the Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The input of bomb tritium into the high-latitude Northern Hemisphere waters has demonstrated the spread of a tracer in three dimensions in the North Pacific Ocean. Subsurface tritium maxima in middle and low latitudes ...
The Penetration of Tritium into the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The persistence of subsurface tritium maxima coincident with the Equatorial Currents is used to show that advection along isopycnals by the mean wind-driven circulation is the dominant process in the at most 14-year time ...
Successful Test of an Airborne Gas Chromatograph
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A portable gas chromatograph designed for real-time studies in diffusion has been successfully tested in an airborne application. A 10-mi low-level plume of colorless, odorless non-toxic sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) was laid ...
Detection, Structure, and Origin of Extreme Anomalies in a Western Atlantic Oceanographic Section
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ten anomalous water parcels were detected in the water column of a western Atlantic oceanographic section (0?5550 m; 70°W; 23?33°N). The parcels had extreme properties lying either two standard deviations from historical ...
