CARBON-14 MEASUREMENTS IN SURFACE WATER CO2 FROM THE ATLANTIC, INDIAN AND PACIFIC OCEANS, 1965-1994

14C measurements were carried out on sea water samples collected in 1973, in the Indian ocean. The results obtained for 9 vertical profiles between 27° S and 48°S are presented. In surface water, the bomb 14C content is maximum at middle latitudes. A time lag relative to the north hemisphere bomb 14C delivery is apparent. In the more southern latitudes, 14C content remains very low.

The Pacific Ocean

The distribution of 14C concentrations in the dissolved inorganic carbon in the surface waters of the Pacific Ocean is shown to have a primarily latitudinal pattern with Δ14C maxima at mid-latitudes in both hemispheres and a minimum at the equator. Oceanographic causes of this phenomenon are discussed.

Natural Means

Water tables in aquifer regions of the southwest United States are dropping off at a rate which is greater than can be replaced by natural means. It is estimated that by 1985 wells will run dry in this region unless adequate artificial recharging can be accomplished. Recharging with surface water is limited by the plugging of permeable rock formations underground by clay particles and organic debris.A controlled study was initiated in which sand grains were used as the rock formation and water with known clay concentrations as the recharge media. The plugging mechanism was investigated by direct observation in the SEM of frozen hydrated sand samples from selected depths.
