Abstract
This paper describes the design and operation of a sampling system tha t makes it possible to collect and store seawater samples in a simple copper tube, for post-cruise CFC measurements. The sampler was designe d to attach to a standard hydrographic bottle. Preliminary testing was accomplished by analysing CFCs in the Tropical Atlantic at 15-degrees -N, from the surface to 2200 m depth. The data indicate that this tech nique can produce reliable CFC measurements, even after several months storage.
