Pulses of rapid ventilation in the North Atlantic surface ocean during the past century
The Suess Effect is a gradual decrease of the14C/12C ratio in tree rings from 1870 to 1950 that is attributed mostly to the burning of14C- free fossil fuels for energy. In contrast, pre-nuclear bomb high-precision measurements of14C/12C ratios in banded corals from the North Atlantic Ocean do not ex...
