W.H.O.I. Helium Isotope Laboratory data report no. 2 : Tritium and ³3He data from the beta triangle (All-107, Oct. 1979 and OC-78, March 1980)

Abstract

The data incorporated in this report consists of 509 tritium and 467 helium isotope measurements made on samples collected on two cruises to the "Beta Triangle" area, an approximately 1000 km on a side triangle centered near 27.5°N, 33.5°W in the eastern subtropical Atlantic. The first cruise (AII-107, H. Stonunel, Chief Scientist) occurred in the auturrm of 1979, and consisted of the Triangle survey with a short meridional section along 38.5°W (approximately 6°N to 27°N) appended. The second cruise (OC-78, H. Stommel, L. Armi, co-Chief Scientists) occurred in March, 1980 and was an abbreviated subsampling of the triangle.
