Temporal evolution of tritium-³He age in the North Atlantic : implications for thermocline ventilation

Robbins, Paul E.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution1997

… tracers, with special emphasis on 3He and tritium, that can be used to infer rates of ventilation. If the flow is predominantly advective, the temporal evolution of coupled transient tracers can be used to define a tracer age which measures the elapsed time since a water parcel was resident …
