Tracer Release Experiments

Tracer Release Experiments is a methodological approach in physical oceanography that involves the deliberate introduction of chemical or inert tracers into the ocean to quantify the rates and pathways of diapycnal mixing and air-sea gas exchange by tracking their dispersion over time.
