Sea-air CO₂ flux variability on the northeast Pacific continental margin

Creator:

Evans, Wiley

Abstract:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes between the ocean and atmosphere on continental margins are difficult to diagnose because these regions experience large variability over spatial and temporal scales spanning meters to basins and hours to years, respectively. In a global sense, continental margins could represent a significant atmospheric CO₂ sink, equivalent...

Impact of tropical instability waves on nutrient and chlorophyll distributions in the equatorial Pacific

Creator:

Evans, William Wiley

Abstract:

Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are prominent seasonal features in both the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This work quantifies their role in modulating the distributions of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass. Using an eight year record of biannual ship observations along the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, cruise sections crossing...
