...Previous measures of the time scale of circulation, such as replacement times (Stuiver et al. 1983; Primeau and Holzer 2006; Broecker et al. 2007) or equilibration times (Wunsch and Heimbach 2008), may be rather different than the mean age of the ocean and their relationship is usually not trivial....

...…to the caveats that inference of the mixing history would benefit from further observations and that radiocarbon cannot rule out the presence of extremely old waters from exotic sources, the deep North Pacific waters are 1200–1500 yr old, which is more in line with existing numerical model results....

...The equilibration of ocean biogeochemical tracers across the entire water column amounts to several thousands of years (e.g., Heinze et al., 1999; Wunsch and Heimbach, 2008) and depends on the state of background ocean circulation as well as the turbulent mixing and eddy stirring parameterizations (e....

...Modeling studies of paleo-oceanographic passive tracers such as δ18O or114C (Duplessy et al., 1991), or global ocean passive tracers (Wunsch and Heimbach, 2008), as well as more recently available modern global-scale data compilations (e.g., Key et al., 2004; Sarmiento and Gruber, 2006) and…...

...…of sinking organic matter spans days to perhaps several months, the associated impact on deep water chemistry accumulates over several decades to centuries as zones of differential remineralization are mixed across water masses and follows the ocean circulation (Wunsch and Heimbach, 2008)....
