Transition Radiation Array for Cosmic Energetic Radiation (TRACER) (380 words) |
 | The Transition Radiation Array for Cosmic Energetic Radiation (TRACER) is a new instrument for direct, balloon borne measurements of single element heavy cosmic ray nuclei (boron to iron) in the energy range from 10 |
| Improvements to TRACER for this flight are the extension of the dynamic range of the Transition Radiation Detector to include Boron and Carbon and the addition of a second Cerenkov Counter to increase Charge Resolution. |

Brazil Basin Tracer Release Experiment (1009 words) |
| A tracer release experiment was initiated in the deep Brazil Basin in February 1996 to study mixing, stirring and transport in the abyssal ocean. |
| Floats that were released with the tracer and surfaced prior to our cruise suggested that the patch would be approximately isotropic, with a radius of about 210 km, and centered within 25 km of the release point. |
| Tracer was found as far east as 13 W in the canyon over which the tracer was released. |
