This paper is the third of a series detailing the general features of 14C distribution in the world oceans. In the preceding papers, we discussed the 14C activities of Atlantic and Pacific Ocean waters (Stuiver and Östlund, 1980; Östlund and Stuiver, 1980). We now give an outline of the 14C distribution of the Indian Ocean and profiles for one Mediterranean and three Red Sea stations.
