Direct observations of diel biological CO2 fixation on the Scotian Shelf, northwestern Atlantic Ocean
Thomas, H., S. E. Craig, B. J. W. Greenan, W. Burt, et al. 2012. "Direct observations of diel biological CO2 fixation on the Scotian Shelf, northwestern Atlantic Ocean." Biogeosciences 9(6): 2301-2309.Much of the variability in the surface ocean's carbon cycle can be attributed to the availability of sunlight, triggering surface heat flux and photosynthesis, which in turn regulate the biogeochemical cycling of carbon ... -
The mean surface circulation of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre: A comparison of estimates derived from new gravity and oceanographic measurements
Higginson, S., K. R. Thompson, J. Huang, M. Veronneau, et al. 2011. "The mean surface circulation of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre: A comparison of estimates derived from new gravity and oceanographic measurements." Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans 116: 08016-C08016.DOI:10.1029/2010JC006877A new mean sea surface topography (MSST) is used to estimate the surface circulation of the subpolar gyre of the northwest Atlantic. The MSST is produced using a new geoid model derived from a blend of gravity data from ...
