Seasonal and spatial dynamics of 234 Th/ 238 U disequilibria in southern Lake Michigan

Measurements of 234 Th/ 238 U disequilibria were made on an approximately bimonthly basis over the course of a year in nearshore (10–40 m deep) and offshore (160 m deep) surface waters of the southern basin of Lake Michigan (18,100 km 2 ). The mean activity of 238 U in Lake Michigan measured 230 ± 2...

Zusammenfassung:Measurements of 234 Th/ 238 U disequilibria were made on an approximately bimonthly basis over the course of a year in nearshore (10–40 m deep) and offshore (160 m deep) surface waters of the southern basin of Lake Michigan (18,100 km 2 ). The mean activity of 238 U in Lake Michigan measured 230 ± 20 dpm m −3 , approximately 1 order of magnitude lower than what is typically found in marine systems. Measured median activities of dissolved (
