Biology and air–sea gas exchange controls on the distribution of carbon isotope ratios ( delta C-13) in the ocean

Creator:

Schmittner, A., Gruber, N., Mix, A. C., Key, R. M., Tagliabue, A., and Westberry, T. K.

Abstract:

Analysis of observations and sensitivity experiments with a new three-dimensional global model of stable carbon isotope cycling elucidate processes that control the distribution of delta C-13 of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the contemporary and preindustrial ocean. Biological fractionation and the sinking of isotopically light delta C-13 organic matter from...

Inferring phytoplankton carbon and eco-physiological rates from diel cycles of spectral particulate beam-attenuation coefficient

Creator:

Dall'Olmo, G., Boss, E., Behrenfeld, M. J., Westberry, T. K., Courties, C., Prieur, L., Pujo-Pay, M., Hardman-Mountford, N., and Moutin, T.

Abstract:

The diurnal fluctuations in solar irradiance impose a fundamental frequency on ocean biogeochemistry. Observations of the ocean carbon cycle at these frequencies are rare, but could be considerably expanded by measuring and interpreting the inherent optical properties. A method is presented to analyze diel cycles in particulate beam-attenuation coefficient (c[subscript...
