Atlantic Tritium-Helium modelling
preliminary model results


1. Observations (WHOI)

WHOI products:
N Atlantic T-He in 1981
T-He age


2. MICOM model year 100 (60 years dynamical model spin-up and 40 years for the Age tracer, Tritium&Helium)
Tritium&Helium are set to zero at year 60 and a source of Tritium is set in the mixed layer for the first 3 years, corresponding to the bomb related peak in 1965-67. Only the radioactive decay product of tritium, the tritiugenic helium-3 has been modelled.

North Atlantic model plots:
Age on sigma surfaces
N-S sections at 30W
