Accelerator Mass Spectrometry was used to determine Delta14C values, and light isotope ratio mass spectrometry to determine d18O values. # #-------------------- # Publication # Authors: Druffel, E.R.M., S.M.

Our results show that both D14C and d18O values are correlated with sea surface temperature in the Niño 3.4 region and are indicators of El Niño/Southern Oscillation. There is a significant inverse correlation between D14C and d18O values when D14C is lagged by ~2 months, indicating that sea surface temperature changes precede upwelling changes at this eastern equatorial location. We find that cold season low D14C values were higher after the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) changed from a positive to a negative phase. Cold season high d18O values were significantly higher after the PDO shift, as well. These findings suggest that there are two sources of low D14C waters that upwell at the Galapagos, Subantarctic Mode Water and shallow overturning water from the subpolar North Pacific. #------------------------------ # Funding_Agency: # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant: #-------------------------------- # Site Information: # Site_Name: Urvina Bay # Location: Eastern Pacific Ocean > Galapagos Islands # Northernmost_Latitude: -0.4 # Southernmost_Latitude: -0.4 # Easternmost_Longitude: -91.23 # Westernmost_Longitude: -91.23 # Elevation: #-------------------------------- # Data Collection # Collection_Name: UR-86 D14C Druffel14 # Oldest_Year: 1939 # Most_Recent_Year: 1954 # Time_Unit: AD # Core_Length # Notes: Radiocarbon results are reported as Delta values that are corrected for known age to 1950 according to convention [Stuiver and Polach 1977].
