The seasonal cycle of δ 3 C DIC in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre
This study introduces for the first time the δ 13 C DIC seasonality in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre (NASPG) using δ 13 C DIC data obtained in 2005–2006 and 2010–2012 with dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and nutrient observations. On the seasonal scale, the NASPG is characterized by higher δ 13...
