Temporal changes in iodine-129 and radiocesium in the Canada Basin in the Arctic Ocean between 1993 and 2020
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Arctic Ocean plays an important role in global climate and global warming through freshwater and heat exchange with subarctic waters. A better understanding of circulation time scales in the Arctic Ocean is essential to predict changes in climate and biogeochemical cycling in the Arctic Ocean. 129I and 137Cs, which have been discharged from the nuclear fuel-reprocessing facilities, have been employed to determine the time scale of the circulation in the Arctic Ocean. However, its temporal change has not been understood well. In 2017, 2019, and 2020, we measured 129I and 137Cs in the Canada Basin in the Arctic Ocean. Using our new and historical data, we discuss temporal changes in the circulation in the basin between 1993 and 2020. The tracer ages derived from the 129I/137Cs ratio indicate that the transport of the Atlantic water into the Canada Basin was accelerated in 2020. This is consistent with results of recent studies that indicated the intensified inflow of the Atlantic water into the eastern Arctic Ocean in the late 2010s, which is termed “atlantification”. Our results confirmed the “atlantification” in the Canada Basin by temporal changes in the transient tracers for the first time.

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.
