Abstract

We report O2/Ar ratios (a constraint on net community production) and the triple isotopic composition of dissolved O2 (a constraint on gross primary production) in samples collected from the surface mixed layer on 23 Southern Ocean transits. Samples were collected at 1–2° meridional resolution durin...
