Depth distribution of δ13 of dissolved ΣCO2 in seawater off eastern Taiwan: effects of the Kuroshio current and its associated upwelling phenomenon

Carbon Chemistry in the Mainstream of Kuroshio Current in Eastern Taiwan and Its Transport of Carbon into the East China Sea Shelf

“…Thus, the increase of DIC from the surface to 2000 m was accompanied by a decrease of temperature and an increase of density. Our DIC results were comparable to those previous investigations conducted in this area [34,57]. The ratio of DIC/TAlk, which could serve as an indicator for pCO 2 , varied from 0.81 in the surface seawater to 0.99 in the bottom water (Figures 4f and 5f).…”

Depleted deep South China Sea δ13C paleoceanographic events in response to tectonic evolution in Taiwan–Luzon Strait since Middle Miocene

“…In contrast, since the generation of the SCS deep basin there has been a widely deep connection between the SCS and the WP through the Luzon Strait. At present, δ 13 C of dissolved inorganic carbon of the WP bottom water below 2500 m (about 0 ‰) is higher than that of the SCS deep water at 2500 and 3000 m (about -0.2 ‰; Sheu et al, 1996;Chou et al, 2007), which might be an effect of the tectono-morphological barriers in the Luzon Strait.…”

Δ14C and Δ13C of Seawater DIC as Tracers of Coastal Upwelling: A 5-Year Time Series from Southern California

“…Thus,  13 C of DIC is often used as a tracer of upwelling strength (Sheu et al 1996). However, our Lab nr (UCIAMS-)…”

“…The  13 C values of DIC in upwelled water is normally lower than that in surface water because of the presence of 13 C-depleted DIC from the remineralization of organic matter. Thus,  13 C of DIC is often used as a tracer of upwelling strength (Sheu et al 1996) 14.7 92393 13.9 1.7 1.5 Table 1 Complete temperature, salinity, DIC  14 C, and  13 C values from surface seawater samples collected from sites off the coast of Southern California from 2008-2010. The 14 C results are reported as age-corrected  14 C (‰), as defined by Stuiver and Polach (1977).…”
