Collection of North Pacific Ocean Surface Seawater Samples from a Container Ship: Foreign Trip Report, January 24-March 4, 1989.

摘要

This trip was a continuation of the sampling program undertaken during 1984--1985 to study the seasonal and regional variability of CO(sub 2) chemistry in high-latitude deep water formation areas of the North Pacific. The work is conducted by Columbia University (Dr. Taro Takahashi, Principal Investigator) for the Department of Energy's Energy Systems Program managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Aboard the President Eisenhower, we collected surface seawater samples at forty-two stations along the route from Oakland, California, to Keelung, Taiwan, via Guam. On the return trip, samples were collected from thirty-nine stations during transit from Kaohsiung, Taiwan, to Los Angeles, California.
