Concentrations of 90 Sr and 137 Csence between analyses performed by the two methods appears to be close to 0.6 dpm per 100 liters. determined at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution by bulk water analysis were compared with 137 Cs concentrations determined at the University of Delaware following absorption in situ. Five groups of profiles from the North Atlantic were used. Bulk water values and in situ values were compared by plotting radioisotope concentrations against σ τ and comparing values, obtained by linear interpolation, at the same values of σ τ . When compared with mean analytical uncertainties, data obtained by the two methods seem in excellent agreement. The systematic differ
