Respiration in the open ocean
A key question when trying to understand the global carbon cycle is whether the oceans are
net sources or sinks of carbon. This will depend on the production of organic matter relative …

Uncertainty in ocean-color estimates of chlorophyll for phytoplankton groups
Over the past decade, techniques have been presented to derive the community structure of
phytoplankton at synoptic scales using satellite ocean-color data. There is a growing …

The Atlantic Ocean surface microlayer from 50°N to 50°S is ubiquitously enriched in surfactants at wind speeds up to 13 m s−1
We report the first measurements of surfactant activity (SA) in the sea surface microlayer
(SML) and in subsurface waters (SSW) at the ocean basin scale, for two Atlantic Meridional …
