The biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes (TEIs) constitute an active
area of oceanographic research due to their role as essential nutrients for marine organisms …

The biological carbon pump (BCP) comprises wide-ranging processes that set carbon
supply, consumption, and storage in the oceans' interior. It is becoming increasingly evident …

Abstract Empirical region-specific (RSM), depth-integrated (DIM) and depth-resolved (DRM)
primary production models are developed based on data from the Kara Sea during the …

The gravitational sinking of particles in the mesopelagic layer (∼ 200–1,000 m) transfers to
the deep ocean a part of atmospheric carbon fixed by phytoplankton. This process, called …

Satellite remote sensing and numerical models are widely used to estimate large-scale
variations in ocean carbon export, but the relationship between export efficiency (e-ratio) of …

The Arctic sea‐ice extent reached a record minimum in September 2012. Sea‐ice decline
increases the absorption of solar energy in the Arctic Ocean, affecting primary production …

Carbon fixation by phytoplankton plays a key role in the uptake of atmospheric CO 2 in the
Southern Ocean. Yet, it still remains unclear how efficiently the particulate organic carbon …

The ocean's biological carbon pump (BCP) plays a major role in the global carbon cycle. A
fraction of the photosynthetically fixed organic carbon produced in surface waters is …

We present here a global oceanic compilation of 234 Th measurements that collects results
from researchers and laboratories over a period exceeding 50 years. The origin of the 234 …

The disequilibrium between lead-210 (210Pb) and polonium-210 (210Po) is increasingly
used in oceanography to quantify particulate organic carbon (POC) export from the upper …
