Seasonal changes in groundwater input to a well‐mixed estuary estimated using radium isotopes and implications for coastal nutrient budgets
R. P. Kelly,S.B. Moran +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Pettaquamscutt estuary was used as a tracer to determine seasonal changes in groundwater input to the estuary from June 1999 to June 2000.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal changes in POC export flux in the Chukchi Sea and implications for water column-benthic coupling in Arctic shelves
S.B. Moran,R. P. Kelly,K. Hagstrom,John N. Smith,Jacqueline M. Grebmeier,Lee W. Cooper,Glenn F. Cota,John J. Walsh,Nicholas R. Bates,Dennis A. Hansell,Wieslaw Maslowski,R.W.P. Nelson,S. Mulsow +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, measurements of the seasonal variation in the export flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) are reported for the upper waters of the Chukchi Sea, where POC fluxes were quantified by determination of 234Th/238U disequilibrium and POC/234Th ratios in large ( > 53 μ m ) aggregates collected using in situ pumps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does 234Th/238U disequilibrium provide an accurate record of the export flux of particulate organic carbon from the upper ocean?
S.B. Moran,S. E. Weinstein,H. N. Edmonds,John N. Smith,R. P. Kelly,Michael E. Q. Pilson,W. G. Harrison +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of new 234 Th and POC data from the Labrador Sea and a review of 25 previous independent field studies was performed, and it was shown that POC export fluxes can vary 2-10 times or more solely because of variability in the POC/ 234 Th ratio and procedures used to estimate the 234 Th flux.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and interannual changes in particulate organic carbon export and deposition in the Chukchi Sea
Kate Lepore,Kate Lepore,S.B. Moran,Jacqueline M. Grebmeier,Lee W. Cooper,Catherine Lalande,Wieslaw Maslowski,Victoria Hill,Nicholas R. Bates,Dennis A. Hansell,Jeremy T. Mathis,R. P. Kelly +11 more
TL;DR: Particulate organic carbon (POC) export fluxes were estimated in the shelf-slope region of the Chukchi Sea using measurements of 234Th−238U disequilibria and the POC/234Th ratio in large (>53-μm) particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particulate organic carbon export fluxes and size-fractionated POC/234Th ratios in the Ligurian, Tyrrhenian and Aegean Seas
E.A. Speicher,S.B. Moran,A.B. Burd,Roberta Delfanti,H. Kaberi,R. P. Kelly,C. Papucci,John N. Smith,S. Stavrakakis,L. Torricelli,Vassilis Zervakis +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Stokes' Law and the particle size distributions of organic C and 234 Th yield values ranging from 0.93-1.45 to 0.973.
