  • Measurements of methyl chloride in the Northwest Atlantic 

    Tait, V. K., R. M. Moore, and R. Tokarczyk. 1994. "Measurements of methyl chloride in the Northwest Atlantic." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 99(C4): 7821-7833. DOI:10.1029/93JC03582
    Methyl chloride was measured directly in seawater using a purge and trap system and gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The results indicate that surface waters of the northwest Atlantic are a source of ...

  • New production in the warm waters of the Tropical Pacific Ocean 

    Pena, MA, M. R. Lewis, and J. J. Cullen. 1994. "New production in the warm waters of the Tropical Pacific Ocean." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 99(C7): 14-14,268. DOI: 10.1029/94JC00603
    The average depth-integrated rate of new production in the tropical Pacific Ocean was estimated from a calculation of horizontal and vertical nitrate balance over the region enclosed by the climatological 26 degree C ...

  • Photosynthetic characteristics and estimated growth rates indicate grazing is the proximate control of primary production in the Equatorial Pacific 

    Cullen, J. J., M. R. Lewis, C. O. Davis, and R. T. Barber. 1992. "Photosynthetic characteristics and estimated growth rates indicate grazing is the proximate control of primary production in the Equatorial Pacific." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 97(C1): 639-654. DOI:10.1029/91JC01320
    Macronutrients persist in the surface layer of the equatorial Pacific Ocean because the production of phytoplankton is limited. Measurements of photosynthesis as a function of irradiance (P-I) provide information on the ...
