The distribution of alkalinity obtained by the GEOSECS Pacific expedition provides implications for the ocean circulation and for the dissolution of CaCO3. Alkalinity has a maximum in the deep water at all stations occupied north of the Circumpolar. The distribution of alkalinity at its maximum suggests a cyclonic circulation in the deep water. The bottom water in the North Pacific gains alkalinity primarily by vertical mixing with deep water and the deep water loses most of its alkalinity by mixing with Circumpolar and Antarctic Intermediate Water in the South Pacific. The alkalinity distribution can be explained only by local sources in the water column. Calcium carbonate, like silicate, seems to dissolve primarily in the deep water.
