Creator:: Ortiz, Joseph D., Mix, Alan C., Wheeler, Patricia A., and Key, R. M.
Abstract:: The stable isotopic signature of dissolved inorganic carbon (δ¹³CDIC) in the northeast Pacific Ocean is lower in near-surface waters by 1.1‰ relative to values predicted from global oceanic trends of δ¹³CDIC versus nutrients. A combination of anthropogenic carbon uptake from the atmosphere and thermodynamic, air-sea gas exchange processes in different...

Creator:: Wheeler, Patricia A., Glibert, Patricia M., and McCarthy, James J.
Abstract:: Using 15N-labeled NH4+, we assessed the time-course of NH4+ uptake, the parameters of saturation kinetics, and the rates of incorporation of NH4+ into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material by Chesapeake Bay phytoplankton. The amount of NH4+ taken up by the phytoplankton increased linearly with time for 2 h for all samples growing...

Abstract:: The uptake of methylammonium (MA) by Chesapeake Bay phytoplankton was measured in short term experiments by using the 14C radioisotope. This uptake was inversely related to ambient NH4+ concentrations, and the specificity for uptake of both substrates was demonstrated by competitive inhibition. At stations with low ambient NH4+, MA uptake...

Creator:: Wheeler, Patricia A. and Kokkinakis, Steven A.
Abstract:: Seasonal and diel changes in nutrient concentrations and nitrogen assimilation rates were used to assess the effects of NH4+ on NO3- assimilation. Surface-water NO3- concentrations ranged from 6 to 17 μM while NH4+ concentrations ranged from 0 to 0.4 μM. Total N assimilation ranged from 84 to 732 nM d–1...

Creator:: Dickson, Mary-Lynn and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: PN-specific, absolute, and Chl a-specific nitrate uptake rates were measured during two upwelling seasons and one winter off Oregon. Although PN-specific and absolute uptake rates showed no dependence on nitrate concentration, Michaelis-Menten kinetics applied when the uptake rates were normalized to Chl a. Chl a-specific nitrate uptake rates were saturated...

Creator:: Barth, John A. and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: The Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) program conducted an interdisciplinary study of coastal upwelling off central Oregon during summer 2001. Two intensive field efforts during May–June and August 2001 were coordinated with ocean circulation, ecosystem, and atmospheric modeling of the region. A primary goal was to contrast the...

Abstract:: The stable isotope 15N was used to measure nitrogen uptake in the coastal upwelling region off Oregon and Washington, USA, where nitrate concentrations in the surface water ranged from 0.7 to 49.1 μM. Nanoplankton biomass (1 to 10 pm) was relatively more abundant at low-nitrate stations, while netplankton biomass (10...

Abstract:: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five coastal diatom species. For Chaetoceros decipiens, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) accumulated beginning in late exponential growth as a result of increased cell density. For Cylindrotheca closterium, DOC actually decreased in late exponential growth and reached zero by...

Creator:: Wetz, Michael S. and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: Few studies have examined the partitioning of organic matter in upwelling systems, despite the fact that these systems play a key role in carbon and nitrogen budgets in the ocean. We examined the production and partitioning of phytoplankton-derived organic matter in deck incubations off Oregon during the upwelling season. During...

Creator:: Kristiansen, Svein, Farbrot, Tove, and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: The uptake rates of nitrate, ammonium, and urea were measured with a ¹⁵N technique during seven cruises in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) in the Barents Sea in 1984–1988. The results from all the cruises were pooled to obtain means for the prebloom, bloom, transition, and postbloom periods. New production—nitrate...
