The time evolution of excess C-14 in the stratosphere and the troposphere from October 1963 to December 1966 is investigated using the Caltech/JPL two-dimensioanal transport model, with transport coefficients taken from Yang and Tung (1989). It is found that the model successfully accounts for observations reported previously. It is calculated that excess C-14 is removed from the atmosphere with surface deposition velocities of 0.003 cm/sec in the Southern Hemisphere and 0.005 cm/sec in the Northern Hemisphere. This result is contrary to the current understanding that the oceans are the dominant sink for excess C-14.
