Reduced mixing across the upper boundary of AABW is consistent with movement of this surface away from the seafloor and may be a factor in sequestering CO2 in the abyssal Atlantic. Two key unknowns in the budget are the isotopic composition of AABW and the spatial representativeness of isolated vertical profiles of d18O and d13C. Due to a lack of core material below 3 km water depth, Lund et al. (2011) based their Holocene budget on water column data and their LGM budget on extrapolation of isotopic trends from shallower cores. Here we determine d18O and d13C for AABW using new isotopic records from 3 to 4 km water depth at the Brazil Margin. The core top data yield tracer budget parameters consistent with water column data in the broader Southwest Atlantic. At the LGM, benthic d18O reaches 4.9‰ at 4 km water depth, the highest LGM d18O value in the published literature. The corresponding d13C of -0.2‰ is less depleted than expected and >0.5‰ greater than d13C in the Southeast Atlantic. Our Peclet number estimates suggest d13C acted conservatively during both the Holocene and LGM. Both d18O and d13C imply the transport to vertical diffusivity ratio for AABW was an order of magnitude larger during the LGM, due to enhanced AABW transport or reduced mixing across its upper boundary. # #--------------------- # Funding Agency # Funding Agency Name: # Grant: #-------------------- # Site Information # Site Name: KNR159-5-42JPC # Location: Ocean>Atlantic Ocean>South Atlantic Ocean # Country: # Northernmost Latitude: -27.7667 # Southernmost Latitude: -27.7667 # Easternmost Longitude: -46.0333 # Westernmost Longitude: -46.0333 # Elevation: -2296 m #------------------ # Data Collection # Core Name: 42JPC2012 # First Year: 21230 # Last Year: 330 # Time Unit: Calendar Years before present # Core Length: 6.005 m # Notes: #------------------ # Chronology # # All calendar ages are based on the MARINE09 calibration curve assuming a DeltaR of 0±200 years (1sigma) # # depth (cm) 14C age (yrs) 1 sigma error (yrs) calendar age (yr BP) 1 sigma error (yrs) notes # 10.5 4560 15 4757 273 # 15.5 6480 15 6973 226 # 20.5 8735 20 9365 253 # 25.5 10315 20 11435.5 312 # 30.5 11690 25 13143 208 # 35.5 12440 30 13890.5 276 # 40.5 12705 30 14299 356 # 45.5 13335 35 15589 492 # 50.5 12630 40 14200 367 reversal # 55.5 15215 50 18127 363 # 60.5 15875 45 18705 166 # 65.5 14310 40 16993 209 reversal # 70.5 17230 60 19920 323 # 75.5 17640 60 20583.5 381 # 80.5 18210 70 21232.5 290 # # #------------------ # Variables # # End Description/Documentation (lines begin with #) # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line variables format: Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname-tab-longname components (8 components: material, error, units, anomaly, period, archive, detail, method) # Data line format: tab-delimited text, variable short name as header ##
