摘要

Barium has been used as a biogeochernical tracer for alkalinity, productivity, and riverine inputs in the ocean, but its oceanic cycle remains poorly constrained. Barium stable isotope measurements may improve the use of Ba as a tracer and better constrain the cycling of Ba, but data are only available in limited regions of the oceans. In this study, we present dissolved seawater Ba isotopic compositions in a sample collection spanning the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific and Southern Oceans. Compiled global upper-ocean [Ba] data show a relatively constant [Ba] (35-45 nM) in the near-surface waters throughout the global ocean, with the exception of areas near river inputs or strong upwelling. The relatively uniform distribution of [Ba] in the upper ocean seawater indicates that Ba removal is slow relative to supply and mixing, and implies that near-surface Ba isotope values are controlled by basin-scale balances rather than by regional or short-term processes. Seawater Ba isotopic compositions show a large variation of delta Ba-138/134 values ranging from 0.24 to 0.65%, and a tight relationship with [Ba]. This global relationship can be simply modelled assuming a primary deep Southern Ocean source for Ba to yield a maximum isotope fractionation of alpha = 1.00058 +/- 0.00010 (alpha = Ba-138/134(seawater)/Ba-138/134(particle)). This suggested isotope fractionation during Ba removal from seawater is larger than implied by laboratory measurement during barite formation, suggesting additional fractionating phases or a two-stage fractionation process. Riverine input from the Rio de la Plata to the South Atlantic has a signature of delta Ba-138/134 = -0.06-0.11%, which is too light to explain the heavy values (>0.58%) observed in the surface open ocean. Globally, the Ba isotope composition of the upper ocean waters is correlated with the fraction of Ba utilization at the basin scale (which varies from <15 to 70% at sites studied here). In the deep Atlantic Ocean, distinct delta Ba-138/134 signals in the northern sourced (approximate to 0.45%) and the southern-sourced water (approximate to 0.25%) trace mixing and allow identification of non-conservative behaviour of Ba, reflecting additional inputs or sinks of Ba during transport (most likely addition from sediment or hydrothermal). Ba isotopes may be useful to trace such inputs in the present and past ocean. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
