Tracing Ocean circulation at the AR7W and OVIDE lines using artificial radionuclides
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA) and Labrador Sea are key regions for deep and intermediate water mass formation and contribute to the southward return flow of the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).The origin and circulation pathways of these water masses can now be studied using the artificial radionuclides 129I and 236U. These tracers are mainly released to the Nordic seas by the European nuclear reprocessing plants of La Hague and Sellafield since the 1960s. This point like source provides a unique fingerprint for Atlantic waters entering the Arctic Ocean and recirculation to the western SPNA.Here we will present results of the distribution of 129I and 236U in the Labrador Sea (AR7W Line) and the SPNA (OVIDE Line). The 129I concentrations and its temporal evolution is studied at 11 stations on a time series that started in 2014. In addition, first results of 236U will also be presented along the AR7W line.At the timeseries the 129I concentration shows a general increase with time and from east to west, reaching its highest concentration in the deep overflow waters and along the Eastern and Western Greenland current.The combination of the well-known tracer 129I with 236U allows to study the origin and mixing of different water masses in the SPNA.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
