Fine-scale spatial and interannual cadmium isotope variability in the subarctic northeast Pacific
International audience We present dissolved cadmium (Cd) concentrations, [Cd], and stable isotope compositions, ɛ 112 / 110 Cd, in high-resolution depth profiles from five stations along the Line P transect in the subarctic northeast Pacific Ocean. In addition to profiles collected in 2012, subsurfa...

International audience We present dissolved cadmium (Cd) concentrations, [Cd], and stable isotope compositions, ɛ 112 / 110 Cd, in high-resolution depth profiles from five stations along the Line P transect in the subarctic northeast Pacific Ocean. In addition to profiles collected in 2012, subsurface isopycnal samples and surface samples were collected in 2013 and 2014 respectively, providing both temporal and spatial coverage. Surface waters are characterized by Cd depletion relative to phosphate ( 4 3- PO) compared to deepwater 4 -3 Cd:PO, and high inferred remineralization ratios in the nutricline (0.45nmolμmol -1 ) are observed, consistent with Cd enrichment relative to phosphorus (P) in surface-derived biogenic particles. The correlation between Cd and 4 3- PO weakens at depths where oxygen is highly depleted as shown by local minima in dissolved [Cd] and the tracer Cd * . The decoupling, which is driven by a deficit of Cd relative to 4 3- PO, appears consistent with the recent hypothesis of dissolved Cd removal in oxygen-depleted regions by insoluble metal sulfide formation. Dissolved ɛ 112 / 110 Cd indicates a biologically driven fractionation in surface waters with more positive (heavy) values in the upper water column and lower (light) values in deeper waters.
