• To determine full
water column distributions of selected trace elements and isotopes, including their concentration, chemical speciation, and physical form, along a sufficient number of sections in each ocean basin to establish the principal relationships between these distributions and with more traditional hydrographic parameters;
In Relationships between
Water Vapor Path and Precipitation over the Tropical Oceans, Bretherton et al showed that although the Western Pacific warmer surface waters increased the water in the atmosphere compared to the Eastern Pacific, rainfall was lower in the Western Pacific compared to the Eastern Pacific for equal amounts of water vapor in the atmospheric column — e.g., about 10mm / day in the Western Pacific, versus ~ 20mm / day in the Eastern Pacific at 55 mm water vapor, the peak of the distribution of water vapor amo

In a story published on the WSU website and now getting wide
distribution Deemer said she measured dissolved gases in the
water column of Lacamas Lake in Clark County and found that methane emissions — a substance 25 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere — jumped 20-fold when the
water level was drawn down.
Then
water vapor follows the hydrostatic
distribution and its total amount in the
column is determined by surface temperature.»
By understanding the relationship between the size, composition and
distribution of particles found on the bottom with the motion of the
water column above, scientists who study long cores of ocean sediment can tell how currents have changed or moved over time.
