What do paleo-geochemical tracers tell us about the deep ocean circulation during the last ice age?
Paleo-tracers such as carbon 13 and cadmium show that the deep Atlantic was enriched in nutrients during the Last Ice Age. The conventionally accepted interpretation of these higher nutrient levels is that a reduction of the rate of formation of nutrient-depleted Lower North Atlantic Deep Water …

Radium isotopes as tracers of coastal circulation pathways in the Mid-Atlantic Bight
Pathways of exchange between the shelf and slope in the Mid-Atlantic Bight were investigated using a combination of radiochemical tracer and hydrographic measurements. The motivation was to provide evidence of transport routes for shelfwater that could be important to the balance of shelf-slope …

Constraining the North Atlantic circulation with transient tracer observations
The capability of transient tracers to constrain the ocean circulation in the North Atlantic is explored. Study of an idealized tracer shows that inferences of circulation properties from transient state distributions are impacted by uncertainties in the time-varying boundary conditions and sparse …
