Interactive comment on “Photoproduction of ammonium in the Southeastern Beaufort Sea and its biogeochemical implications” by H. Xie et al

چکیده
This paper provides a new estimate of the photodecomposition of DOM to ammonium in the Arctic Ocean. Given that global warming will significantly affect both the composition of DOM in the Arctic Ocean, and the exposure of oceanic waters to solar irradiation, this paper is both timely and provides useful information. However, I do have several general and specific comments that should be addressed and / or considered before the paper is published.

1-Introduction Climate change refers to any significant change in the existing mean climatic conditions within a certain time period (Jana and Majumder, 2010; Giorgi, 2006). Earth's climate change through history has happened (Nakicenovic et al., 2000; Bytnerowicz et al., 2007). 2-Materials and methods In this study, daily precipitation and daily maximum (Tmax) and daily minimum (Tmin) tempera...
متن کاملPhotobiogeochemical cycling of carbon monoxide in the southeastern Beaufort Sea in spring and autumn
We investigated the distribution, photoproduction, microbial uptake, and air–sea exchange of carbon monoxide (CO), a key photoproduct of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), in open waters of the southeastern Beaufort Sea in autumn 2003 and spring 2004. Diurnal cycles of surface water CO concentration ([CO]) occurred in autumn but not in spring. In both seasons [CO] was well above air-...

Lehoux et al provide a timely and relevant turn on the broad and ongoing discussion around the introduction of health technology and innovation. More specifically, the authors suggest a demand-driven approach to health innovation that starts from identifying challenges and demands at the health system level. In this commentary, I review a number of underlying implications of their study in rela...
متن کاملPhotomineralization of terrigenous dissolved organic matter in Arctic coastal waters from 1979 to 2003: Interannual variability and implications of climate change
[1] Photomineralization of terrigenous dissolved organic matter (tDOM) in the Arctic Ocean is limited by persistent sea ice cover that reduces the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the underlying water column. UV-dependent processes are likely to accelerate as a result of shrinking sea ice extent and decreasing ice thickness caused by climatic warming over this region. In this study...
