Lagrangian ocean analysis: Fundamentals and practices (2018, background): “Water mass ages and transit times 966 The ‘age’ of ocean water, or the time taken for water to transit between 967 defined regions or reservoirs, is a property of the flow that provides useful 968 understanding of the ocean circulation (61).”
AGE OF STRATOSPHERIC AIR: THEORY, OBSERVATIONS, AND MODELS (2002, background): “…[ England , 1995] and groundwater [ Goode , 1996], as has the more general concept of transit time distributions (age spectra) [ Bein-ing and Roether , 1996; Deleersnijder et al. , 2001; Etchev-erry and Perrochet , 2000; Haine and Hall , 2002; Khatiwala et al. , 2001; Varni and Carrera , 1998].”
A Generalized Transport Theory: Water-Mass Composition and Age (2002, background): “…discuss water-mass age is to consider a range (or distribution) of transit times from the water-mass formation regions [Beining and Roether 1996; Delhez et al. 1999; Khatiwala et al. 2001; Deleersnijder et al. 2001; see Hall and Plumb (1994) and Hall and Waugh (1997a) for the stratospheric case].”
Characterizing Transport between the Surface Mixed Layer and the Ocean Interior with a Forward and Adjoint Global Ocean Transport Model (2005, background): “Deleersnijder et al. (2001) and Waugh et al. (2003) point out that the age derived from a decaying radioactive tracer is different from the mean age.”
