The stable carbon isotope composition of particulate organic carbon (δ13CPOC) and naturally occurring long-lived radionuclide 226Ra (T1/2=1600a) were applied to study the variations of upper ocean (13CPOC values ranged from -27.4‰ to -19.0‰ and generally decreased from inner bay (south of 67°S) towa...
