Summary
The central part of the WOCE Hydrographic Programme was the one-time survey of the World Ocean.
This survey was conducted along a number transoceanic sections. At each hydrographic station
full-depth profiles of temperature,salinity,and other parameters were obtained.Large and small
volume bottle samples enabled a variety of chemical properties to be analysed, including nutrients,
COD, CFCs, tritium, helium and other tracers. Most of parameters were analysed on board, but some
required analyses in laboratories on land.
