Methylmercury production below the mixed layer in the North Pacific Ocean
Mercury enters marine food webs in the form of microbially generated monomethylmercury. Microbial methylation of inorganic mercury, generating monomethylmercury, is widespread in low-oxygen coastal sediments. The degree to which microbes also methylate mercury in the open ocean has remained uncertain, however. Here, we present measurements of the stable isotopic composition of mercury in nine s...
متن کاملModeling Diurnal and Intraseasonal Variability of the Ocean Mixed Layer
The intraseasonal variability of SST associated with the passage of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) is well documented; yet coupled model integrations generally underpredict the magnitude of this SST variability. Observations from the Improved Meteorological Instrument (IMET) mooring in the western Pacific during the intensive observing period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere C...
متن کاملEstimating mixed layer nitrate in the North Atlantic Ocean
Here we present an equation for the estimation of nitrate in surface waters of the North Atlantic Ocean (40◦N to 52◦ N, 10◦W to 60◦W). The equation was derived by multiple linear regression (MLR) from nitrate, sea surface temperature (SST) observational data and model mixed layer depth (MLD) data. The observational data were taken from merchant vessels that have crossed the North Atlantic on a ...
متن کاملDistributions of mixed layer properties in North Pacific water mass formation areas: comparison of Argo floats and World Ocean Atlas
Winter mixed layer characteristics in the North Pacific Ocean are examined and compared between Argo floats in 2006 and the World Ocean Atlas 2001 (WOA01) climatology for a series of named water masses, North Pacific Tropical Water (NPTW), Eastern Subtropical Mode Water (ESTMW), North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water (NPSTMW), Light Central Mode Water (LCMW) and Dense Central Mode Water (DCMW). T...
متن کاملTemporal Variability of Winter Mixed Layer in the Mid- to High-Latitude North Pacific
Temperature and salinity data from 2001 through 2005 from Argo profiling floats have been analyzed to examine the time evolution of the mixed layer depth (MLD) and density in the late fall to early spring in mid to high latitudes of the North Pacific. To examine MLD variations on various time scales from several days to seasonal, relatively small criteria (0.03 kg m–3 in density and 0.2°C in te...
