Ventilation and subduction in the sea ice zone(Arctic)

Steele et al., (1995)

AW = Atlantic water

ASW = Arctic surface water

CDW = Cold deep water

CHW = Cold halocline water

Loose et al., (2011)

• Net CO2

flux into mixed layer = Primary production – Gas exchange + upwelling*

• Gas exchange (k) is usually inferred, rarely measured.

• We need to measure Primary production + gas exchange at the same time in the SIZ.

Do we have estimates of k in sea ice cover and do we believe them?

Fanning and Torres (1991)

Loose and Schlosser (2011)

Air-sea gas exchange depends on aqueous turbulence

• Shear in the ice-ocean boundary layer (IOBL) (McPhee, 1992; McPhee, 2008, Andreas, 1986).

• Buoyant convection/stratification (Lombardo and Gregg, 1989; Morison et al., 1992)

• Short-period wind waves (Frew et al., 2004) and their interactions with ice floes

How to measure gas exchange on MOSAiC?

Smethie et al., (1985), Peng et al., (1979)

226Ra originates in the sediments and bedrock.

226Ra decays to 222Rn.222Rn has 3.8 day half-life.

5. How to measure gas exchange and primary production together?

National Geographic

Δ(O2

/Ar) Method:

Ar behaves like “abiotic O2

Solubility of Ar ~ Solubility of O2

Diffusivity of Ar ~ Diffusivity of O2

Δ(O2

/Ar) reflects excess oxygen of biogenic origin.

Net Community O2 production (NCP) = kρΔ(O2/Ar)
