Abstract
⺠In all water masses, we observe a decline in δ13CDIC and Îδ13CDICeMLR reflecting the penetration of anthropogenic CO2. ⺠The Suess Effect is also large in these water masses with a time rate of change between -0.014â°Â yearâ 1 and -0.015â°Â yearâ 1. ⺠Low δ13CDIC values (0.4â°-0.5â°) observed close to the Greenland coast in the upper 1000 m are likely associated to the EGCC. ⺠The anthropogenic change explains 75% of the observed δ13CDIC decrease for the oldest water mass and 90% for the youngest. ⺠In addition, our results confirm a reduction of the Cant storage rate in this region between 1981 and 2006.
