Temporal evolution of tritium-³He age in the North Atlantic : implications for thermocline ventilation
This thesis is a study of the physical mechanisms that ventilate the subtropical thermocline of the eastern North Atlantic. The starting point is an analysis of the existent historical database of natural and anthropogenic tracers, with special emphasis on 3He and tritium, that can be used to infer …

Applications of PB-210/RA-226 and PO-210/PB-210 disequilibria in the study of marine geochemical processes
The distribution of Pb-210 and Po-210 in dissolved (<O.4 micron) and particulate (>0.4 micron) phases has been measured at ten stations in the tropical and eastern North Atlantic and at two stations in the Pacific. Both radionuclides occur principally in the dissolved phase. Unsupported Pb-210 …

A study of the large scale circulation and water mass formation in the Nordic seas and Arctic Ocean
In this thesis, production of dense water that feeds the dense overflows across the Greenland-Scotland Ridge has been considered. A new circulation scheme is developed which is consistent with the water masses, currents and air-sea fluxes in the region, and with the important observation that the …

Constraining the North Atlantic circulation with transient tracer observations
The capability of transient tracers to constrain the ocean circulation in the North Atlantic is explored. Study of an idealized tracer shows that inferences of circulation properties from transient state distributions are impacted by uncertainties in the time-varying boundary conditions and sparse …
