Objective | The scientific objectives of the JADE (Java - Australia dynamics experience) cruise were to: 1) Determine the characteristics of water masses where they enter the Indian Ocean using hydrological parameters and chemical and transient tracers (T, S, O2, nutrients, freons, carbon 14, tritium, helium); 2) Estimate the transport of mass and heat between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, during the season of maximal fluxes; 3) Determine its seasonal variations; 4)-Estimate the significance of this ocean region as a source of CO2 for the atmosphere. |
