Highlights: [•] North Pacific radiocarbon 14C was modeled using Bayesian hierarchical methods. [•] Higher 14C input and earlier timing of the pulse curve occurred in higher latitudes. [•] Lower 14C input and delay of pulse curve occurred with greater upwelling. [•] Oceanographic factors influencing 14C assimilation can confound aging error. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
