RRS Discovery Cruise 233, 23 Apr-01 Jun 1998. A Chemical and Hydrographic Atlantic Ocean Survey: CHAOS
RRS Discovery Cruise 233, CHAOS (Chemical and Hydrographic Atlantic Ocean Survey) combined a long meridional section notionally along 20°W from 20°N to Iceland with a detailed survey of the Rockall Trough. The meridional section was designed to i) establish the sources and sinks of halocarbons in su...
