The effect of seasonality in phytoplankton community composition on CO2 uptake on the Scotian Shelf
Small phytoplankton (pico-, nano- and microphytoplankton) play an important role in uptake of carbon dioxide on the Scotian Shelf.
The seasonal cycle of carbon dioxide in Baltic Sea surface waters
The carbonate system of the Baltic Sea is strongly influenced by the input of low salinity waters during spring and summer originating from the Bothnian Sea, the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of [...]
Influences of oceanographic processes on the biological productivity of the Gulf of Maine
The Gulf of Maine’s unusual geography and oceanography make it distinct from other continental shelf ecosystems. It has deep basins, shallow offshore banks that limit water flow between the [...]
Ocean and coastal acidification off New England and Nova Scotia
This Oceanography paper discusses ocean and coastal acidification processes specific to New England coastal and Nova Scotia shelf waters and reviews current understanding of [...]
Observing Ocean Acidification from Space
Authors: by Dwight K. Gledhill, Rik Wanninkhof, and C. Mark Eakin 2009 PDF: Observing-Ocean-Acidification-from-Space.pdf Abstract: Space-based observations provide synoptic coverage of surface [...]
And on Top of All That…Coping with Ocean Acidification in the Midst of Many Stressors
Ocean and coastal acidification is occurring due to uptake of atmopsheric CO2, as well as nutrient-fueled respiration in some estuarine and costal environments. Multiple stressors, [...]
Surface ocean pCO2 seasonality and sea-air CO2 flux estimates for the North American east coast
Underway and in situ observations of surface ocean pCO2, combined with satellite data, were used to develop pCO2 regional algorithms to analyze the seasonal and interannual [...]
Offspring sensitivity to ocean acidification changes seasonally in a coastal marine fish
Experimental assessments of species vulnerabilities to ocean acidification are rapidly increasing in number, yet the potential for short- and long-term adaptation to high [...]
Seasonal variability of dissolved inorganic carbon and surface water pCO2 in the Scotian Shelf region of the Northwestern Atlantic
The seasonal variability of inorganic carbon in the surface waters of the Scotian Shelf region of the Canadian northwestern Atlantic Ocean was investigated. Seasonal variability was assessed [...]
Nutrient pulses, plankton blooms, and seasonal hypoxia in western Long Island Sound
Development of seasonal hypoxia was studied weekly in the western narrows of Long Island Sound (WLIS) during the summers of 1992 and 1993 by measuring hydrographic properties, biological oxygen [...]
