Popis: CFM (CCl3F or freon F-11 and CCl2F2 or freon F-12) measurements were made on board the R.V. Atalante as part of a quasi-synoptic survey of the tropical Atlantic Ocean. The work was carried out during the CITHER 1 cruise, part of the French CITHER program (Circulation THERmohaline) between January and March 1993. Two zonal sections at 4°30 S and 7°30N (the A7 and A6 WOCE sections) and two meridional sections at 35°W and 3°50 W were sampled for CFMs between the African and South American continents. The results reported here deal primarily with the North Atlantic Deep Water. The CITHER 1 sections were made just 10 years after the first CFMs snapshot of the tropical Atlantic ocean obtained during the Transient Tracers in the Ocean Program.
