Figure 7 Bottom water D
14 C simulated by the model (color-shaded field) and from data (colored dots). The mean model-data D
14
C difference in areas not affected by bomb14 C is only
þ 1.3%, and the root-mean-square difference amounts to only 5.2%. From Schlitzer R (2006) Assimilation of radiocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon data to constrain deep and bottom water
