Ventilation of the deep ocean constrained with tracer observations and implications for radiocarbon estimates of ideal mean age
Ocean ventilation is the process that transports water and climatically important trace gases such as carbon dioxide from the surface mixed layer into the ocean interior. Quantifying the dominant source regions and time scales remains a major challenge in oceanography. A mathematically rigorous appr...
