Somayajulu, B.L.K., Bhushan, R. and Narvekar, P.V. (1999). ¿¹⁴C, SCO₂ and salinity of the Western Indian Ocean Deep Waters: Spatial and temporal variations. Geophysical Research Letters 26: doi: 10.1029/1999GL002261. issn: 0094-8276.

Indian Ocean Deep waters (IDW) show an increase in salinity and &Sgr;CO2 between 64 ¿S and 16¿4 ¿N by 0.106--0.110? and 82--104 &mgr;M kg-1 respectively with a corresponding decrease in Δ14C by 42? as revealed by the GEOSECS data (1977--78). The Δ14C--&Sgr;CO2--Salinity relationships show better correlation in the western sector. High biological productivity induced changes and corrosive deepwaters could account for &Sgr;CO2 increase in the northern regions. Reoccupation of GEOSECS stations during 1985--95 do not show distinctly discernible short-term temporal changes in Δ14C, &Sgr;CO2 and salinity. ¿ 1999 American Geophysical Union
