A source-weighted Benthic minus Planktonic radiocarbon method for estimating pure ocean water age

Abstract This paper introduces the Benthic minus-weighted-Planktonic (BwP) age method to estimate the pure water age of the deep ocean. It combines radiocarbon data with water mass composition evolution in an ocean model under realistic surface forcings accounting for multiple water sources, marine...
