One popular hypothesis suggests carbon accumulated in the deep Southern Ocean, becoming increasingly radiocarbon (14C)-depleted during the last glacial period, and was released into Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) and, subsequently, the atmosphere during deglaciation. Detection of extremely 14C-deplete carbon in the intermediate-depth tropical oceans during periods of atmospheric CO2 rise was initially considered the "smoking gun" for the hypothesis, but attempts to reproduce the anomalies closer to the Southern Ocean source have largely failed. Here, we present new 14C records from four cores recovered at intermediate depths in the eastern equatorial Pacific (EEP). In the context of additional geochemical records, including benthic foraminiferal stable isotopes and sedimentary nitrogen isotopes, we demonstrate that the extreme 14C anomalies observed during the last deglaciation do not reflect the radiocarbon content of AAIW. We show that, although AAIW likely transported modestly 14C-deplete carbon to the EEP subsurface, the extreme 14C signatures might reflect a distinct source of aged carbon arriving from the north, suggesting the North Pacific helped transport deep ocean carbon to the atmosphere during the last deglaciation. In the EEP, additional local hydrothermal inputs of 14C-free carbon near the Galapagos Islands magnified the already low-14C signatures. Finally, regardless of arrival route (North/South Pacific or hydrothermal), 14C-deplete carbon was released from the EEP subsurface during a late deglacial pulse of renewed upwelling, likely contributing to the Younger Dryas rise in atmospheric CO2. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: National Science Foundation # Grant: OCE-1003387 #--------------------------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: KNR195-5 CDH41 # Location: Eastern Pacific Ocean # Country: # Northernmost_Latitude: -1.265667 # Southernmost_Latitude: -1.265667 # Easternmost_Longitude: -89.698 # Westernmost_Longitude: -89.698 # Elevation: -595 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: CDH41 14C Bova2018 # First_Year: 10346 # Last_Year: 28238 # Time_Unit: cal yr BP # Core_Length: 26.87 # Notes: #--------------------------------------- # Chronology_Information # Chronology: # # Labcode # depth_top # depth_bottom # mat.dated # 14C.raw # 14C.raw_err # datemeth # reservoir age # calib.14C # calib.14C_97.5% confidence interval lower bound # calib.14C_97.5% confidence interval upper bound # calib_method # calib_curve # rejected # # Labcode depth_top depth_bottom mat.dated 14C.raw 14C.raw_err datemeth reservoir age calib.14C calib.14C_97.5% confidence interval lower bound calib.14C_97.5% confidence interval upper bound calib_method calib_curve rejected # OS-99072 0.5 0 Globigerinoides ruber 9580 50 14C AMS 393 10346 10249 10491 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-113942 4.75 4.25 Globigerinoides ruber 10500 45 14C AMS 505 11460 11285 11693 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-102469 10.25 9.75 Globigerinoides ruber 12150 100 14C AMS 1119 12901 12739 13070 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-102711 15.5 15 Globigerinoides ruber 12550 45 14C AMS 1285 13117 13066 13215 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-113944 17.5 17 Globigerinoides ruber 12750 55 14C AMS 1367 13222 13119 13328 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-102466 20.5 20 Globigerinoides ruber 11850 65 14C AMS 995 12737 12690 12869 Bchron intcal13 yes # OS-113946 25.5 25 Globigerinoides ruber 13800 55 14C AMS 1412 14425 14193 14744 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-99073 30.25 29.75 Globigerinoides ruber 14350 60 14C AMS 1283 15670 15427 15837 Bchron intcal13 yes # OS-113948 35.5 35 Globigerinoides ruber 13950 60 14C AMS 1378 14917 14569 15108 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-102713 40.5 40 Globigerinoides ruber 12700 50 14C AMS 1322 13218 13121 13306 Bchron intcal13 yes # OS-113950 47.5 47 Globigerinoides ruber 14300 70 14C AMS 1304 15546 15317 15754 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-102715 55.5 55 Globigerinoides ruber 14450 60 14C AMS 1268 15839 15678 16008 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-99074 70.25 69.75 Globigerinoides ruber 15650 80 14C AMS 1775 16812 16557 17041 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-102717 90.25 89.75 Globigerinoides ruber 18150 90 14C AMS 2058 19416 19187 19610 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-119357 100.5 100 Globigerinoides ruber 18750 100 14C AMS 1994 20216 19997 20461 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-99075 115.5 115 Globigerinoides ruber 19700 140 14C AMS 1855 21607 21206 21915 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-102719 135.25 134.75 Globigerinoides ruber 20400 120 14C AMS 1953 22320 22007 22500 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-99076 170.25 169.75 Globigerinoides ruber 20600 120 14C AMS 1982 22479 22277 22747 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-119358 215.5 215 Globigerinoides ruber 14200 60 14C AMS 2000 14089 13904 14237 Bchron intcal13 yes # OS-109334 235.5 235 Globigerinoides ruber 17950 70 14C AMS 2078 19129 13968 19338 Bchron intcal13 yes # OS-119359 255.5 255 Globigerinoides ruber 24700 210 14C AMS 2000 27020 26514 27382 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-109363 275.5 275 Globigerinoides ruber 24000 120 14C AMS 2000 26193 26005 26466 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-109458 290.5 290 Globigerinoides ruber 27200 190 14C AMS 2000 29242 28849 29658 Bchron intcal13 no # OS-119360 310.5 310 Globigerinoides ruber 26200 260 14C AMS 2000 28238 27810 28709 Bchron intcal13 no # #--------------------------------------- # Variables # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. # Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname components (9 components: what, material, error, units, seasonality, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) ## depth_cm depth,,,centimeter,,,,,N, ## age_calyr age,,,calendar year before present,,,,,N, ## benthic_14Cage age,benthic foraminifer,,radiocarbon year before present,,paleoceanography,,accelerator mass spectrometry,N, ## benthic_14Cage_sd Delta 14C,benthic foraminifer,one standard deviation,radiocarbon year,,,,,N, ## Labcode sample identification,,,,,,,,C,sample identification used by 14C laboratory #------------------------ # Data: # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line format -
