Interannual variability in net community production at the Western Antarctic Peninsula region (19972014)
In this study, we examined the interannual variability of net community production (NCP) in the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) using in situ O2/Ar-NCP estimates (2008–2014) and satellite data (SeaWiFS and MODIS-Aqua) from 1997 to 2014. We found that NCP generally first peaks offshore and follows sea-ice retreat from offshore to inshore. Annually integrated NCP (ANCP) displays an onshore-to-o...
متن کاملMicrozooplankton community composition along the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Microzooplankton are an integral part of aquatic food webs, yet compared to macrozooplankton, are understudied in the Southern Ocean. The region along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is experiencing rapid climate warming, resulting in declines in sea ice extent and duration, and affecting the marine food web. Microzooplankton community structure along the WAP was analyzed in January 2010 ...
متن کاملUltraviolet radiation enhances Arctic net plankton community production
In this study we report the response of net community production (NCP) of plankton communities in the Arctic surface waters exposure to natural ultraviolet radiation (UVR) conditions. A possible bias in previous measurements performed using borosilicate glass bottles (opaque to most UVR) can underestimate NCP. Here we show that 77% of the sampled communities suffer, on average, 38.5% of net inc...
متن کاملA doubling in snow accumulation in the western Antarctic Peninsula
[1] We present results from a new medium depth (136 metres) ice core drilled in a high accumulation site (73.59 S, 70.36 W) on the south-western Antarctic Peninsula during 2007. The Gomez record reveals a doubling of accumulation since the 1850s, from a decadal average of 0.49 mweq y 1 in 1855–1864 to 1.10 mweq y 1 in 1997–2006, with acceleration in recent decades. Comparison with published acc...
