Abstract
^(210)Pb activity in circumpolar waters of the South Atlantic is characterized by a sharply defined maximum at intermediate to shallow depths that is strongly correlated with the oxygen minimum. This feature, present throughout the Southern Ocean, is most likely locally maintained rather than advected from elsewhere. The highest ^(210)Pb activities in this region occur in the northern Weddell Sea, indicating a source of ^(210)Pb-rich water in the west or north flank of the Weddell Sea Gyre. An estimate of the (^(210)Pb) deficiency relative to (^(226)Ra) shows that despite high biological productivity, the sediments underlying the Southern Ocean are not a major sink for ^(210)Pb.
