Abstract

Fieldwork for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) radiocarbon program was recently completed. Ca. 9000 samples were collected for analysis using both conventional B-counting techniques and the newer AMS technique. The mean uncertainty for the beta analyses is 3 parts per thousand; for AMS analyses, ca. 4.5 parts per thousand.
