Sustained ocean time series are critical for characterizing marine ecosystem shifts in a of accelerating, and at times unpredictable, changes. They represent the only means to distinguish between natural anthropogenic forcings, best tools explore causal links implications human communities that depend on resources.

Abstract We present a year‐round time series of dissolved methane (CH 4 ), along with targeted observations during ice melt CH and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in river estuary adjacent to Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canada. During the freshet, concentrations ice‐covered were up 240,000% saturation 19,000% saturation, respectively, but quickly dropped by >100‐fold following melt. Observations robotic kayak revealed that river‐derived CO transported rapidly ventilated atmosphere once cover...
Abstract Approximately half of global primary production occurs in the ocean. While large‐scale variability net (NPP) has been extensively studied, ocean gross (GPP) thus far received less attention. In this study, we derived two satellite‐based GPP models by training machine learning algorithms (Random Forest) with light‐dark bottle incubations (GPP LD ) and triple isotopes dissolved oxygen 17Δ ). The predict GPPs 9.2 ± 1.3 × 10 15 15.1 1.05 mol O 2 yr −1 for , respectively. projected...
The goal of the EXport Processes in Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) field campaign is to develop a predictive understanding export, fate, and carbon cycle impacts global ocean net primary production. To accomplish this goal, observations export flux pathways, plankton community composition, food web processes, optical, physical, biogeochemical (BGC) properties are needed over range ecosystem states. Here we introduce first EXPORTS deployment Station Papa Northeast Pacific during summer...
Enzyme-labeled fluorescence (ELF) and bulk alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity enzyme assays were used to evaluate the phosphorus (P) status of phytoplankton communities in San Francisco Monterey bays. Both regions exhibit spatial temporal variability AP with maximum activities during early spring summer periods high biological productivity. ELF analysis revealed pronounced differences makeup organisms responsible for these two environments. In Bay dinoflagellates are activity. Diatoms...
We describe a method for determining net annual biological oxygen production in the euphotic zone of ocean using remote situ measurements and nitrogen gas. Temperature, salinity, oxygen, total dissolved gas pressure were measured every 2 hours at 10‐m depth on mooring Hawaii Ocean time series during year 2005. Since N is effectively inert to processes it can be used as tracer physical mechanisms affecting O concentration an upper model concentrations. determine surface mixed layer 4.8 ± 2.7...
Abstract We measured triple oxygen isotopes and oxygen/argon dissolved gas ratios as nonincubation‐based geochemical tracers of gross production (GOP) net community (NCP) on 16 container ship transects across the North Pacific from 2008 to 2012. estimate rates efficiency biological carbon export throughout full annual cycle basin (35°N–50°N, 142°E–125°W) by constructing mixed layer budgets that account for physical influences these tracers.

Abstract The expansion of autonomous observation platforms offers vast opportunities for analyzing ocean ecosystems and their role in carbon export. As part the EXport Processes Ocean from RemoTe Sensing campaign, we autonomously measured productivity regimes two contrasting end‐member ecosystem states. first campaign occurred subpolar North Pacific near Station Papa (Site 1), characterized by iron limitation a highly regenerative regime. second captured springtime bloom Atlantic 2), which...
The subpolar North Atlantic is a known hotspot for anthropogenic carbon and oxygen uptake, however the detailed pathways dissolved gasses into deep remain poorly understood. While it clear that high-oxygen waters formed by convection in basin interiors are exported southward boundary currents, has also been hypothesized significant water mass transformation associated gas exchange occurs near or within currents themselves. Here we present novel year-round observations mounted on Overturning...
Formed by deep convection in the Nordic Seas, cold, oxygen-rich Denmark Strait Overflow Water (DSOW) is densest water mass lower limb of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). As DSOW spreads southward from into Irminger Sea, overflow entrains ambient masses. This entrainment critical for transfer climate signals and biogeochemical tracers surface to ocean. Although impact on properties immediate vicinity (< 100 km downstream sill) has been studied extensively, dynamics...

The biological pump plays a key role in the global carbon cycle by transporting photosynthetically fixed organic into deep ocean, where it can be sequestered from atmosphere over annual or longer time scales if exported below winter ventilation depth.In subpolar North Atlantic, sequestration via is influenced two competing forces: spring diatom bloom that features large, fast-sinking biogenic particles, and mixing requires particles to sink much further than other ocean regions escape...
Coastal ecosystems host high levels of primary productivity leading to exceptionally dynamic elemental cycling in both water and sediments. In such environments, carbon is rapidly cycled rates burial as organic matter and/or loss the atmosphere laterally coastal ocean simpler forms, dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4). To better understand across these heterogeneous new technologies beyond discrete sample collection analysis are needed characterize spatial temporal variability. Here, we describe...
Abstract Diel variations in oxygen concentration have been extensively used to estimate rates of photosynthesis and respiration productive freshwater marine ecosystems. Recent improvements optical sensors now enable us use the same approach metabolic oligotrophic waters that cover most global ocean for measurements collected by autonomous underwater vehicles. By building on previous methods, we propose a procedure from vertically resolved diel concentration. This involves isolating variation...
