Abstract
Estimates of ventilation ages depend strongly on the saturation levels. We calculated ventilation ages using CFC-12 with a range of saturation levels and with the saturation level calibrated tracer ratio, CFC-12/CCl4. The best estimates of ventilation ages for the NEADW and DSOW, obtained using the CFC-12/CCl4 ratio, were 11-13 and 5-8 years, respectively.
