Funds are requested for the investigation of radiocarbon                and stable carbon isotope ratios and various other chemical                     properties in the major organic and inorganic carbon pools in                   the North Atlantic Ocean.  Measurements will be made of                         dissolved organic and inorganic carbon (DOC and DIC) in a                       detailed profile collected at a site near Station S off Bermuda                 in the Sargasso Sea.  In addition, the radiocarbon and stable                   carbon isotope ratios in specific organic components of the DOC                 (humic and labile constituents) will be measured.  Suspended                    particulate organic carbon (POC) will be collected from 10                      depth and sinking POC from 3 depth (1000, 2600 and 3600 meters                  at the same site.  The goals of this project are to formulate                   the pathways that carbon follows in the open ocean water column                 of the North Atlantic, and to compare these results with those                  obtained earlier for the North Pacific.  In particular, there                   is interest in determining the sources and time constants                       involved in the cycling of DOC, especially those which involves                 sedimentary organic carbon (SOC) and POC in the water column.                   The goals of this project is directly related to those of the                   Global Ocean Flux Study (GOFS).
