GEOSECS Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Mediterranean Radiocarbon Data (1988)

H. G. Östlund and M. Stuiver

Some Mediterranean Sea data were also collected. Samples for ¹⁴C were collected at 124 stations, and approximately 18 samples were collected at each station from intervals throughout the water column. The data included in the data base are ship position (latitude and longitude), sample number, depth, potential temperature, salinity, and delta ¹⁴C. The GEOSECS data sets allow a better understanding of large-scale oceanic transport and mixing and the establishment of the gross rate of deep-ocean circulation. The data are in three files (radiocarbon data for the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans) ranging in size from 39.9 to 50.4 kB.
