    Dissolved organic radiocarbon in the eastern Pacific and Southern Oceans
    (American Geophysical Union, 2021-05-24) Druffel, Ellen R. M. ; Griffin, Sheila ; Lewis, Christian B. ; Rudresh, Megha ; Garcia, Noreen G. ; Key, Robert M. ; McNichol, Ann P. ; Hauksson, Niels E. ; Walker, Brett D.
    We report marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, and DOC Δ14C and δ13C values in seawater collected from the Southern Ocean and eastern Pacific GOSHIP cruise P18 in 2016/2017. The aging of 14C in DOC in circumpolar deep water northward from 69°S to 20°N was similar to that measured in dissolved inorganic carbon in the same samples, indicating that the transport of deep waters northward is the primary control of 14C in DIC and DOC. Low DOC ∆14C and δ13C measurements between 1,200 and 3,400 m depth may be evidence of a source of DOC produced in nearby hydrothermal ridge systems (East Pacific Rise).

    Dissolved Organic Radiocarbon in the West Indian Ocean
    (American Geophysical Union, 2023-10-02) Druffel, Ellen R. M. ; Lewis, Christian B. ; Griffin, Sheila ; Flaherty, Alessandra ; Rudresh, Megha ; Hauksson, Niels E. ; Key, Robert M. ; McNichol, Ann P. ; Hwang, Jeomshik ; Walker, Brett D.
    We report marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, and DOC Δ14C and δ13C in seawater collected from the West Indian Ocean during the GO-SHIP I07N cruise in 2018. We find bomb 14C in DOC from the upper 1,000 m of the water column. There is no significant change in ∆14C of DOC in deep water northward, unlike that of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), suggesting that transport of deep water northward is not controlling the 14C age of DOC. Variability of DOC ∆14C, including high values in the deep waters, is more pronounced than in other oceans, suggesting that dissolution of surface derived particulate organic carbon is a source of modern carbon to deep DOC in the West Indian Ocean. Low δ13C are present at two of the five stations studied, suggesting a source of low δ13C DOC, or additional microbial utilization of deep DOC.
