Abstract
Observations during 1969-1971 indicate that radionuclides 14C and 55Fe in particulates in Pacific Ocean Water 28-31°N, 119-121°W up to depths of 2,500 m were transported from the surface within a short time ( < 10 yr). The mean downward sinking rates for 55Fe and 14C are deduced to be 0.5×10−3 and 2.5×10−3 cm s−1. The appreciably faster transport of 14 C is consistent with the fact that the mean size calculated for biogenic calcareous particles transporting 14C is larger than that for the 55Fe-labeled particles.
