Physical (θ, S, σ θ ), chemical (O 2 ) and geochemical (Ce * =Ce×2/(La+Pr), La/Lu, [Nd],
ε Nd ) data used in this work. All data come from the Signature/GINS cruise (summer 1999).
All geochemical measurements were performed on unfiltered samples. Water masses were
identified by their θ-S characteristics defined by Swift, 1986 (LAIW : Lower Arctic
Intermediate Water, UAIW : Upper Arctic Intermediate Water, PW : Polar Water, AW :
Atlantic Water, ASW : Arctic Surface Water, PIW : Polar Intermediate Water). DSOW stands
for Denmark Strait Overflow Water.
