delta O-18 as a tracer of the main regularities of water mass mixing and transformation in the Barents, Kara, and Laptev seas

摘要

When researching the mixing of two or more water masses and their subsequent transformation, ideally, the most conservative parameters are used. Since the 1970s, the isotopic parameter delta O-18 has been used in various oceanological research works for example: Ostlund and Hut (1984) [J. Geophys. Res., 89, 6373-6381] and many others.
