High-resolution sampling of particulate organic carbon in a coastal upwelling system

Creator:

Holser, Rachel R.

Abstract:

Summertime, wind-driven upwelling off the Oregon coast delivers nutrient rich water to the surface that fuels the autotrophic production of particulate organic carbon (POC). This POC can be transported horizontally by fluid motions and vertically by sinking to the bottom where it can be entrained in the benthic boundary layer...
