Although ocean-transferred signals do in general propagate more slowly than atmospheric signals, they can nevertheless move rapidly enough to preclude their resolution within millennial. and possibly even centennial scale records. For instance, Haine et al. (23) have used chlorofluorocarbons as tracers to demonstrate that Antarctic Bottom Water from the Weddell Sea traveled more than 8500 km toward New Zealand in only 23 years.
