Chemical signatures associated with the freshening of Northern Atlantic waters between 1972 and 1981

Further insight into the possible causes of the freshening of deep water in the northern Atlantic between the GEOSECS survey (1972) and the TTO survey (1981) is provided by measurements of dissolved silica and dissolved oxygen. As all the northern end member waters are low in dissolved silica conten...
