In the Arctic Ocean, Pacific source water can be distinguished from Atlantic source
water by nitrate-phosphate concentration relationships, with Pacific water having higher
phosphate concentrations relative to those of nitrate. Furthermore, Pacific water, originally
from the inflow through Bering Strait, is clearly recognizable in the outflows of lowsalinity
waters from...
During SHEBA, thin ice and freshening of the Arctic Ocean surface in the Beafort Sea led to speculation that perennial sea ice was disappearing [McPhee et al., 1998]. Since 1987, we have collected salinity, δ¹⁸O and Ba profiles near the initial SHEBA site and, in 1997, we ran a section...
