Rapid Acidification of the Arctic Chukchi Sea Waters Driven by Anthropogenic Forcing and Biological Carbon Recycling

Di Qi et al.

Summary: This study presents a 17-year observational data set in the Chukchi Sea, showing that pH and aragonite saturation state have declined at rates 2-3 times faster than those solely due to increasing atmospheric CO2. The rapid acidification can be attributed to increased dissolved inorganic carbon from ice melt-induced CO2 invasion and subsurface remineralization induced by nutrient-rich Pacific water inflow.

Extreme Nitrate Deficits in the Western Arctic Ocean: Origin, Decadal Changes, and Implications for Denitrification on a Polar Marginal Shelf

Yanpei Zhuang et al.

Summary: The study found that the extreme nitrate deficit in the western Arctic Ocean has worsened over the past two decades, possibly due to the expansion of Pacific water in the region. Although there has been an increase in subsurface nutrient stocks in the basin areas, there is also a larger nitrate deficit, which may be caused by stronger denitrification on the shelves.

Quantification of the Seasonal Intrusion of Water Masses and Their Impact on Nutrients in the Beibu Gulf Using Dual Water Isotopes

Qibin Lao et al.

Summary: This study utilized a new dataset of seasonal stable water isotopes and temperature-salinity profiles to investigate the distribution and impact of water masses on the environment of the Beibu Gulf. The findings revealed that the coastal current, West-Guangdong coastal current, and South China Sea water were the dominant water masses in the Gulf, with their influence varying throughout the seasons. Additionally, the study demonstrated that the nutrients in the Gulf were greatly influenced by the different water mixing occurring in the area.

Seasonal Water Mass Evolution and Non-Redfield Dynamics Enhance CO2 Uptake in the Chukchi Sea

Ouyang Zhangxian et al.

Summary: The Chukchi Sea is becoming a larger sink for CO2 due to rapid climate changes. Understanding the seasonal variations in air-sea CO2 exchange and the biogeochemical dynamics is crucial for predicting the impacts of climate change on the ocean and the feedbacks. The study finds that thermal and non-thermal effects have different impacts on sea surface CO2 levels and air-sea CO2 flux in different water masses. The findings also highlight the importance of phytoplankton stoichiometry in CO2 uptake.

Bottom-associated phytoplankton bloom and its expansion in the Arctic Ocean

Takuhei Shiozaki et al.

Summary: This study reveals that diatom blooms can occur near the seafloor rather than at the surface in the shallow Arctic shelf region. The increase in phytoplankton production in the Arctic Ocean due to sea ice loss is often underestimated by satellite observations, as they fail to account for the bottom-associated blooms that occur occasionally. The results highlight the importance of considering these hidden blooms in assessing primary production in the Arctic Ocean.

Biogeochemical controls on ammonium accumulation in the surface layer of the Southern Ocean

Shantelle Smith et al.

Summary: Ammonium accumulation is observed in the winter mixed layer of the Southern Ocean, particularly in polar waters, due to slower removal rates by temperature, light, and iron-limited microorganisms. These findings provide significant insights into the nitrogen cycle in the Southern Ocean and highlight the importance of understanding the processes involved.

Freshening leads to a three-decade trend of declining nutrients in the western Arctic Ocean

Yanpei Zhuang et al.

Summary: The rapid warming and sea-ice loss in the Arctic Ocean have led to a decrease in nutrient concentrations, especially nitrate and phosphate, in surface waters over the past three decades. This phenomenon may be attributed to the decreased resupply of nutrients from subsurface waters and increased biological consumption of nutrients due to changes in light availability caused by sea-ice loss.

Incursion of Alaska Coastal Water as a mechanism promoting small phytoplankton in the western Arctic Ocean

Yanpei Zhuang et al.

Summary: The inflow of Alaska Coastal Water affects phytoplankton composition in the Arctic Ocean, leading to changes in ecosystem succession. It reduces chlorophyll a concentration in shelf areas but promotes phytoplankton growth in basin areas, particularly small prasinophytes and chrysophytes. This is likely due to a change in nutrient status, with ACW bringing nutrients into subsurface basin layers in the western Arctic Ocean.
