Summary: | The long term goals are to gain a better understanding of gas exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean during deep convection in the ocean, to establish the boundary condition for chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) input into Labrador Sea Water (LSW) (which is needed to quantitatively interpret CFC measurements made in LSW in regions away from the formation areas and will be needed to simulate CFC distributions in ocean circulation models) and to use these data in conjunction with CFC data collected on other projects to estimate the LSW formation rate and investigate temporal changes in the formation rate. |
