Seasonal inorganic nitrogen distributions and dynamics in the southeastern Bering Sea
The annual cycle of the distribution of nitrate and ammonium concentrations in the PROBES area of the southeastern Bering Sea was highly interactive with the physical and biological processes. Nitrate concentrations were replenished over the shelf during the autumn and winter at a very uniform rate...
