Tritium/He-3 and O-18 Measurements During the ACSYS Expedition 1996

Abstract

This proposal requested half the funds required for collection, measurement, and interpretation of about 500 tritium/He-3 and 500 O-18 samples in the framework of the Swedish/German ACSYS (Arctic Climate System Study) cruise to the eastern Arctic Ocean in 1996. The work was focused on closing the existing tracer data gap in the eastern part of the Eurasian Basin. Coverage of this part of the Arctic Ocean will provide the link between the tracer distributions observed just north of Fram Strait and in the central Eurasian Basin along about 30 deg. E and the region where shelf waters enter the Transpolar Drift.
