production and carbon export in the
The net community production (NCP) of the Ross Sea, from the early austral spring (mid-October) to the austral summer (mid-February), has been estimated from the seasonal drawdown of CO concentrations integrated over the top 100 m of the water column. The de"cits in nutrients and CO indicate th...
