Title: Chlorofluorocarbon measurements in the southwestern pacific during the CGC-90 expedition. Data report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:160943

This report presents chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and hydgrographic data collected in the Southwest Pacific Ocean during the 1990 NOAA Climate and Global Change (CGC-90) expedition on NOAA Research Ship Malcolm Baldrige. On this expedition, full water column CTD/hydrocast stations were made on a section extending along 170 deg W from 5 deg N to 60 deg S, on a short section crossing the Southwest Pacific Basin to the southeast of New Zealand, and on a short section along 32 deg 30`S east of the kermadec Ridge. Measurements of dissolved and atmospheric dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) and trichlorofluromethane (CFC-11) made by the SIO and NOAA/PMEL groups are compared in this report. Also included in the report are hydrographic data (measurements of salinity, temperature, pressure and depth) collected by NOAA/PMEL investigators during this expedition.
