Description:
 

A ratio is the relative size of two quantities expressed as the quotient of one divided by the other. The numbers in a ratio may be quantities or measurements of any kind, such as counts, lengths, weights, or concentrations, for example. When two quantities are measured with the same unit, as is often the case, their ratio is a dimensionless number.

Description: 
Derived ratio of sediment carbon content to 234Th excess activity (C:234Thex in micromoles:decays per minute). Note: Values have been calculated from the raw carbon content and thorium data values, not the rounded reported values in this published dataset. Raw ratio values and uncertainties are reported here. Ratios that account for significant figures and extrapolation can be calculated directly from the carbon and thorium data published here.
