Baseline concentration of strontium and Sr-90 in Gulf is presented. The strontium concentration is much higher than reported for other oceanic waters, while the Sr-90 concentration is low at 0.7-1.0 mBq l(-1), that represents the background level following nuclear tests and can be used as an effective tracer in case of any radioactive release in the region. The strontium concentration is primarily related to the increasing salinity off the Gulf coast.
给出了海湾地区锶和 Sr-90 的基线浓度。锶浓度远高于其他海洋水域的报道值，而 Sr-90 浓度较低，为 0.7-1.0 mBq l(-1)，这代表了核试验后的背景水平，并且可以在该地区发生任何放射性物质释放时用作有效示踪剂。锶浓度主要与海湾沿岸不断增加的盐度有关。
