| Resumo | |
Negative stable carbon isotopic excursions have been observed throughout most of the mid-depth (similar to 1000-3000m) Atlantic Ocean during Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1) and the Younger Dryas (YD). Although there is an agreement that these mid-depth excursions were in some way associated with a slowdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), there is still no consensus on the precise mechanism(s). Here we present benthic stable carbon and oxygen isotopic (C-13 and O-18) records from five cores from the western equatorial Atlantic (WEA). Together with published benthic isotopic records from nearby cores, we produced a WEA depth transect (similar to 800-2500m). We compare HS1 and YD data from this transect with data from previously published North and South Atlantic cores and demonstrate that the largest negative C-13 excursions occurred in the WEA during these times. Moreover, our benthic O-18 records require the presence of two water masses flowing from the Southern Ocean, bisected by a Northern Component Water (NCW). Given that O-18 is a conservative water mass tracer, we suggest that C-13 was decoupled from water mass composition and does not correspond to simple alternations between northern and southern sourced waters. Instead, C-13 behaved non-conservatively during HS1 and the YD. Consistently with our new Pa-231/Th-230 record from the WEA transect, that allowed the reconstruction of AMOC strength, we hypothesize that the negative C-13 excursions reflect an increase in the residence time of NCW in response to a weakened AMOC, allowing for a marked accumulation of C-13-depleted respired carbon at the mid-depth WEA.
