Deep-Sea Research II 49 (2002) 253–288 Interannual variability of carbon fluxes at the North Atlantic Station ESTOC
The impact of sea surface temperature and wind stress on primary production, export production, and CO2 air–sea exchange at the ESTOC station (291N, 15.51W) north of the Canary Islands is the focus of our investigations. A one-dimensional carbon and nitrogen cycling model was applied for the 10-year...
