Radium isotope data summaries from R/V Yuzhmorgeologiya, RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer AMLR2006-Leg1, NBP0606 in the Southern Ocean from January to August 2006 (Ant2006 project, BWZ project)

<h3 class=\"line_section_1\"><b>Radium isotope data summaries from AMLR and NBP cruises to the Antarctic in 2006</b></h3>
<p>Naturally occurring radium isotopes (224Ra, 226Ra, 228Ra) were used in determining<br />
lateral mixing processes which are reported in dpm/m3.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class=\"line_section_1\"><b>Cruises</b></h3>
<p><b>AMLR (Antarctic Marine Living Resources) R/V Yuzhmorgeologiya Jan2006:</b><br />
The research program was focused in the southern Drake Passage<br />
along the Shackelton Shelf located near the Bransfield Strait.<br />
Samples were obtained from the R/V Yuzhmorgeologiya and inflatables<br />
that were taken to island locations.<br />
