RITS 89
Definition
- The purpose of the NOAA/CMDL RITS 1989 cruise was to measure the interhemispheric gradient of radiatively important trace species (RITS) in the atmosphere, to quantify the ocean's effect on these trace gases in the surface waters, to measure the biological rate of production of dissolved N2O, and to compare these measurements to those from CMDL observatories. The NOAA Ship Discoverer (R 102) was used to take measurements in the East Pacific Ocean in 1989. See the article: Oceanic Consumption of CH3CCl3: Implications for Tropospheric OH. J.H. Butler, J.W.
