We present Delta-14C and 39Ar data collected in the Nansen, Amundsen and Makarov basins during two expeditions to the central Arctic Ocean (RV Polarstern cruises ARK IV/3, 1987 and ARK VIII/3,1991). The data are used, together with published Delta-14C values, to describe the distribution of Delta-14...
