摘要

We measured significant activities of short-lived radium isotopes, ~(223)Ra (half-life=11 days) and ~(224)Ra (half-life=3.7 days), around the margins of the Hawaiian Islands to water depths of 3500 m. These measurements suggest fluid inputs from the basalt to the surrounding ocean. In general ~(223)Ra activities were considerably greater than ~(224)Ra in spite of the expected higher production rate of ~(224)Ra activity in basalt. The ~(223)Ra was not supported by dissolved ~(227)Ac. The highest enrichments of ~(223)Ra were measured over the Puna Ridge (2100 m depth) east of Hawaii. Here ~(223)Ra activities reached 19 dpm/m~3, similar to activities measured near sites of active submarine groundwater discharge in the South Atlantic Bight. To explain the high activities of ~(223)Ra unaccompanied by ~(224)Ra, we postulate that thermally-driven circulation of seawater through the Puna Ridge deposits ~(231)Pa on basalt surfaces. With time the ~(231)Pa produces ~(227)Ac and ~(223)Ra; and ~(223)Ra desorbs into the circulating fluids. These fluids then transport ~(223)Ra into the overlying ocean. Based on the inventory of ~(223)Ra above the Puna Ridge, we estimate the flow of fluids through the ridge to be on the order of 20-60 cm~3 cm~(-2) day~(-1). In less than 1000 years the incoming seawater could provide enough ~(231)Pa to basalt surfaces to balance the inventory of ~(223)Ra above the ridge if only 8% of the ~(223)Ra was transported to the overlying water. These observations on the flanks of a volcanically-active ocean island have significant implications for quantifying fluid fluxes from the flanks of the mid-ocean ridge system. By mapping ~(223)Ra inventories in the ocean above ridge flanks and measuring the activity of ~(223)Ra in the emerging fluids, the fluid flux can be obtained.
