The latitude distribution of the Cs concentration in the surface waters of the Atlantic Ocean on the section from the North Sea to Montevideo in September-October 2013 is investigated. The data obtained are compared with the investigations of the distribution of its concentration in close transatlantic sections in 1992 and 2002. The effective half-removal times from the surface layer of the waters in the northern (45-15° N) and central (15° N - 30° S) latitude zone of the Atlantic Ocean are determined to be 15.4 ± 4.6 yr and 12.3 ± 1.6 yr, respectively. Approximate exponential expressions for predicting the multiyear changes in the Cs concentration in the surface waters of the northern and central zones of the Atlantic Ocean are proposed.
