Using a recently compiled global marine data set of dissolved helium isotopes and helium and neon concentrations, we make an estimate of the inventory of hydrothermal3He in the Southern Ocean to be 4.9 ± 0.6 × 104moles. Under the assumption that the bulk of the hydrothermally sourced3He is upwelled there, we use recent estimates of the global hydrothermal3He flux to determine ane‐folding residence time of 99 ± 18 years, depending on assumptions of water mass and upwelling boundaries. Our estimate is within the broad range of values obtained from recent Southern Ocean circulation models.
