Review of the literature reveals that nature pore‐scale interactions between gas hydrates and porous media remains a matter controversy. To clarify situation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have been made on methane hydrate‐bearing sandstones. The samples were synthetically prepared within hydrate stability zone, at or near seafloor in Monterey Bay, California. method simulated natural deposition by flows are not thermodynamic equilibrium with surrounding earth. efficiency...
Continuous cultures of three marine phytoplankton species, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Dunaliella tertiolecta, and Monochrysis lutheri, were monitored for changes in alkalinity the culture medium resulting from NO 3 − NH 4 + uptake. Uptake caused an increase alkalinity, whereas uptake produced a decrease. These results are consistent with type schematic equation proposed by Redfield, Ketchum, Richards photosynthetic assimilation inorganic nitrogen, which is balanced OH production leads to H...
The increase in atmospheric CO 2 of approximately 50 ppm from the mid‐nineteenth century to 1972 has led a corresponding pCO sea water. record this is present oceanic water masses, though signal obscured. By observing alkalinity and total concentration within mass, stripping off perturbations system due respiration, carbonate dissolution nitrate addition, original equilibration may be recovered. application these calculations GEOSECS (1972) data core Antarctic Intermediate reveals...
Profiles of dissolved manganese, copper, iron, and zinc show that the distributions these elements are markedly affected by redox reactions at boundary between oxygenated surface waters sulfide-containing deep waters. Copper depleted in water precipitation as insoluble sulfides. The concentrations manganese iron greatly exceed those principally because greater solubility sulfides hydroxides reduced species compared with oxides oxidized species. distribution nickel cobalt does not appear to...

We have made direct comparisons of the dissolution and rise rates methane argon bubbles experimentally released in ocean at depths from 440 to 830 m. The were injected ROV Ventana into a box open top bottom, imaged by HDTV while free motion. vehicle was piloted upwards rate bubbles. Methane show closely similar behavior above hydrate stability field. Below that boundary (∼520 m) markedly enhanced bubble lifetimes are observed, attributed formation skin. This effect greatly increases ease...
In the reducing environment of anoxic basins manganese (III) or (IV) is reduced to soluble Mn (II); deep waters Black Sea contain up 500 µ g (II)/ liter, about 100 times oceanic average. When this was measured with formaldoxime, color development erratic if reagents were added separately. Rapid and reproducible achieved by using a mixed ammonia/formal‐doxime reagent singly sample. Precipitation avoided maintaining pH in range 8.8–8.9. No interferences from sulfide dissolved salts observed. A...
Concurrent measurements of particle concentrations in the near-surface water and fluxes deep Sargasso Sea show a close coupling between two for biogenic components. The suspended matter appear to follow an annual cycle similar that primary production deepwater flux. Although concentration particulate aluminum surface appears vary randomly with respect cycle, removal is intimately linked rapid downward transport organic matter.
Ocean dead zones devoid of aerobic life are likely to grow as carbon dioxide concentrations rise.
