Abstract

We present high-resolution profiles of dissolved, labile and total particulate trace metals (TMs) on the Northeast Greenland shelf from GEOTRACES cruise GN05 in August 2016. Combined with radium isotopes, stable oxygen isotopes, and noble gas measurements, elemental distributions suggest that TM dynamics were mainly regulated by the mixing between North Atlantic-derived Intermediate Water, enriched in labile particulate TMs (LpTMs), and Arctic surface waters, enriched in Siberian shelf-derived dissolved TMs (dTMs; Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ni) carried by the Transpolar Drift. These two distinct sources were delineated by salinity-dependent variations of dTM and LpTM concentrations and the proportion of dTMs relative to the total dissolved and labile particulate ratios. Locally produced meltwater from the Nioghalvfjerdsbræ (79NG) glacier cavity, distinguished from other freshwater sources using helium excess, contributed a large pool of dTMs to the shelf inventory. Localized peaks in labile and total particulate Cd, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Al, V, and Ti in the cavity outflow, however, were not directly contributed by submarine melting. Instead, these particulate TMs were mainly supplied by the re-suspension of cavity sediment particles. Currently, Arctic Ocean outflows are the most important source of dFe, dCu and dNi on the shelf, while LpTMs and up to 60% of dMn and dCo are mainly supplied by subglacial discharge from the 79NG cavity. Therefore, changes in the cavity-overturning dynamics of 79NG induced by glacial retreat, and alterations in the transport of Siberian shelf-derived materials with the Transport Drift may shift the shelf dTM-LpTM stoichiometry in the future. Key Points The overall dissolved and particulate trace metal dynamics were mainly regulated by the mixing with Arctic surface waters Resuspension of cavity sediments is a major localized source of labile and total particulate Cd, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Al, V, and Ti Whilst dissolved and particulate trace metal

Abstract

The Arctic Ocean is considered a source of micronutrients to the Nordic Seas and the North Atlantic Ocean through the gateway of Fram Strait. However, there is a paucity of trace element data from across the Arctic Ocean gateways, and so it remains unclear how Arctic and North Atlantic exchange shapes micronutrient availability in the two ocean basins. In 2015 and 2016, GEOTRACES cruises sampled the Barents Sea Opening (GN04, 2015) and Fram Strait (GN05, 2016) for dissolved iron (dFe), manganese (dMn), cobalt (dCo), nickel (dNi), copper (dCu) and zinc (dZn). Together with the most recent synopsis of Arctic-Atlantic volume fluxes, the observed trace element distributions suggest that Fram Strait is the most important gateway for Arctic-Atlantic dissolved micronutrient exchange as a consequence of Intermediate and Deep Water transport. Combining fluxes from Fram Strait and the Barents Sea Opening with estimates for Davis Strait (GN02, 2015) suggests an annual net southward flux of 2.7 ± 2.4 Gg·a-1 dFe, 0.3 ± 0.3 Gg·a-1 dCo, 15.0 ± 12.5 Gg·a-1 dNi and 14.2 ± 6.9 Gg·a-1 dCu from the Arctic towards the North Atlantic Ocean. Arctic-Atlantic exchange of dMn and dZn were more balanced, with a net southbound flux of 2.8 ± 4.7 Gg·a-1 dMn and a net northbound flux of 3.0 ± 7.3 Gg·a-1 dZn. Our results suggest that ongoing changes to shelf inputs and sea ice dynamics in the Arctic, especially in Siberian shelf regions, affect micronutrient availability in Fram Strait and the high latitude North Atlantic Ocean.

Abstract

Unidad de excelencia María de Maeztu MdM-2015-0552 Altres ajuts: M.R.-M. and V.P. were supported by Spanish PhD fellowships (AP2010-2510 and AP2009-4733, respectively). The Arctic sea-ice extent reached a record minimum in September 2012. Sea-ice decline increases the absorption of solar energy in the Arctic Ocean, affecting primary production and the plankton community. How this will modulate the sinking of particulate organic carbon (POC) from the ocean surface remains a key question. We use the 234Th/238U and 210Po/210Pb radionuclide pairs to estimate the magnitude of the POC export fluxes in the upper ocean of the central Arctic in summer 2012, covering time scales from weeks to months. The 234Th/238U proxy reveals that POC fluxes at the base of the euphotic zone were very low (2 ± 2 mmol C m−2 d−1) in late summer. Relationships obtained between the 234Th export fluxes and the phytoplankton community suggest that prasinophytes contributed significantly to the downward fluxes, likely via incorporation into sea-ice algal aggregates and zooplankton-derived material. The magnitude of the depletion of 210Po in the upper water column over the entire study area indicates that particle export fluxes were higher before July/August than later in the season. 210Po fluxes and 210Po-derived POC fluxes correlated positively with sea-ice concentration, showing that particle sinking was greater under heavy sea-ice conditions than under partially ice-covered regions. Although the POC fluxes were low, a large fraction of primary production (>30%) was exported at the base of the euphotic zone in most of the study area during summer 2012, indicating a high export efficiency of the biological pump in the central Arctic.

5. The analysis of 226Ra in 1‐liter seawater by isotope dilution via single‐collector sector‐field ICP‐MS

Abstract

The precise determination of radium‐226 (226Ra) in environmental samples is challenging due to its low concentration. Seawater typically contains between 0.03 and 0.1 fg g−1 226Ra. Thus, this work addresses the need for an easy and precise methodology for 226Ra determination in seawater that may be applied routinely to a large number of samples. For this reason, a new analytical approach has been developed for the quantification of 226Ra in seawater via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS). Analysis by single collector sector‐field ICP‐MS was shown to be convenient and reliable for this purpose once potential molecular interferences were excluded by a combination of chemical separation and intermediate mass resolution analysis. The proposed method allows purification of Ra from the sample matrix based on preconcentration by MnO2 precipitation, followed by two‐column separation using a cation exchange resin and an extraction chromatographic resin. The method can be applied to acidified and unacidified seawater samples. The recovery efficiency for Ra ranged between 90% and 99.8%, with precision of 5%, accuracy of 95.7% to 99.9%, and a detection limit of 0.033 fg g−1 (referring to the original concentration of seawater). The method has been applied to measure 226Ra concentrations from the North Sea and validated by analyzing samples from the central Arctic (GEOTRACES GN04). Samples from a crossover station (from GEOTRACES GN04 and GEOTRACES GN01 research cruises) were analyzed using alternative methods, and our results are in good agreement with published values.

Abstract

This study provides dissolved and particulate 230Th and 232Th results as well as particulate 234Th data collected during expeditions to the central Arctic Ocean (GEOTRACES, an international project to identify processes and quantify fluxes that control the distributions of trace elements; sections GN04 and GIPY11). Constructing a time series of dissolved 230Th from 1991 to 2015 enables the identification of processes that control the temporal development of 230Th distributions in the Amundsen Basin. After 2007, 230Th concentrations decreased significantly over the entire water column, particularly between 300 and 1500 m. This decrease is accompanied by a circulation change, evidenced by a concomitant increase in salinity. A potentially increased inflow of water of Atlantic origin with low dissolved 230Th concentrations leads to the observed depletion in dissolved 230Th in the central Arctic. Because atmospherically derived tracers (chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)) do not reveal an increase in ventilation rate, it is suggested that these interior waters have undergone enhanced scavenging of Th during transit from Fram Strait and the Barents Sea to the central Amundsen Basin. The 230Th depletion propagates downward in the water column by settling particles and reversible scavenging. Published version

Abstract

This study provides dissolved and particulate 230Th and 232Th results as well as particulate 234Th data collected during expeditions to the central Arctic Ocean on ARK-XXIX/3 (2015) and ARK-XXII/2 (2007) (GEOTRACES sections GN04 and GIPY11, respectively). Constructing a time-series of dissolved 230Th from 1991 to 2015 enables the identification of processes that control the temporal development of 230Th distributions in the Amundsen Basin. After 2007, 230Th concentrations decreased significantly over the entire water column, particularly between 300 m and 1500 m. This decrease is accompanied by a circulation change, evidenced by a concomitant increase in salinity. Potentially increased inflow of water of Atlantic origin with low dissolved 230Th concentrations leads to the observed depletion in dissolved 230Th in the central Arctic. Because atmospherically derived tracers (CFC, 3He/3H) do not reveal an increase in ventilation rate, it is suggested that these interior waters have undergone enhanced scavenging of Th during transit from the Fram Strait and the Barents Sea to the central Amundsen Basin. The 230Th depletion propagates downward in the water column by settling particles and reversible scavenging. Taken together, the temporal evolution of Th distributions point to significant changes in the large-scale circulation of the Amundsen Basin.

Activities in the central Arctic have increased from 2007 through 2011 to 2015. The increased 228Ra input is attributed to stronger wave action on shelves resulting from a longer ice‐free season. A concomitant decrease in the 228Th/228Ra ratio likely results from more rapid transit of surface waters depleted in 228Th by scavenging over the shelf. The 228Ra activities observed in intermediate waters (<1,500 m) in the Amundsen Basin are explained by ventilation with shelf water on a time scale of about 15–18 years, in good agreement with estimates based on SF6 and 129I/236U. The 228Th excess below the mixed layer up to 1,500 m depth can complement 234Th and 210Po as tracers of export production, after correction for the inherent excess resulting from the similarity of 228Ra and 228Th decay times. We show with a Th/Ra profile model that the 228Th/228Ra ratio below 1,500 m is inappropriate for this purpose because it is a delicate balance between horizontal supply of 228Ra and vertical flux of particulate 228Th. The accumulation of 226Ra in the deep Makarov Basin is not associated with an accumulation of Ba and can therefore be attributed to supply from decay of 230Th in the bottom sediment. We estimate a ventilation time of 480 years for the deep Makarov‐Canada Basin, in good agreement with previous estimates using other tracers., U.S. National Science Foundation Grant Numbers: OCE‐1458305, OCE‐1458424; US NSF Grant Number: OCE‐1433922

14. 230Th and 231Pa: Tracers for Deep Water Circulation and Particle Fluxes in the Arctic Ocean

Author

Valk, Ole, Rutgers van der Loeff, Michiel M., Puigcorbe Lacueva, Viena, Paffrath, Ronja, and Sandra, Gdaniec

Abstract

230Th and 231Pa data from the central Arctic Ocean is very limited. 230Th and 231Pa are produced at a constant rate in the water column by radioactive decay of Uranium isotopes (234U and 235U respectively) (e.g. Anderson et al., 1983). They are both particle reactive and are scavenged on settling particles. As 230Th is more particle reactive than 231Pa, their distribution in the water column and activity ratio give us information about particle fluxes and circulation patterns and –intensities (Henderson et al., 1999; Scholten et al., 2001). The Arctic Ocean is an almost landlocked ocean with limited connections to the Atlantic and Pacific and a high input of river water. About 10 % of the global river run-off is delivered to the Arctic Ocean. Due to climate change the Arctic Ocean will undergo dramatic changes in sea ice cover and supply of fresh water, while increasing coastal erosion will cause an increased input of terrestrial material (Peterson et al., 2002). This will influence the biogeochemical cycling and transport of carbon, nutrients and trace elements (IPCC, 2007). We expect that the distribution of 230Th and 231Pa will reflect changes in particle fluxes and shelf-basin exchange (Roy-Barman, 2009). We will present the first results of 230Th and 231Pa, in combination with on board measured particulate 234Th, collected during the 2015 Polarstern section (GEOTRACES section GN04 2015) through the Nansen, Amundsen, and Makarov Basins.

Including these 34, there are presently 58 published radon-deficit estimates of air-sea gas transfer velocity (k) in the Arctic Ocean; 52 of these estimates were derived from water covered by 10% sea ice or more. The average value of k collected since 2011 is 4.0 ± 1.2 m d−1. This exceeds the quadratic wind speed prediction of weighted kws = 2.85 m d−1 with mean-weighted wind speed of 6.4 m s−1. We show how ice cover changes the mixed-layer radon budget, and yields an “effective gas transfer velocity.” We use these 58 estimates to statistically evaluate the suitability of a wind speed parameterization for k, when the ocean surface is ice covered. Whereas the six profiles taken from the open ocean indicate a statistically good fit to wind speed parameterizations, the same parameterizations could not reproduce k from the sea ice zone. We conclude that techniques for estimating k in the open ocean cannot be similarly applied to determine k in the presence of sea ice. The magnitude of k through gaps in the ice may reach high values as ice cover increases, possibly as a result of focused turbulence dissipation at openings in the free surface. These 58 profiles are presently the most complete set of estimates of k across seasons and variable ice cover; as dissolved tracer budgets they reflect air-sea gas exchange with no impact from air-ice gas exchange., NSF Arctic Natural Sciences program Grant Number: 1203558, 2017-11-05

18. Uranium-Thorium Decay Series in the Oceans: Overview

Author

Elias, Scot..A., Rutgers van der Loeff, Michiel M., Elias, Scot..A., and Rutgers van der Loeff, Michiel M.

Abstract

Natural radioactivity provides tracers in a wide range of characteristic timescales and reactivities, which can be used as tools to study the rate of reaction and transport processes in the ocean. Apart from cosmogenic nuclides and the long-lived radioisotope K-40, the natural radioactivity in the ocean is primarily derived from the decay series of three radionuclides that were produced in the period of nucleosynthesis preceding the birth of our solar system: Uranium-238, Thorium-232, and Uranium-235 (a fourth series, including Uranium-233, has already decayed away). The remaining activity of these so-called primordial nuclides in the Earth's crust, and the range of half-lives and reactivities of the elements in their decay schemes, control the present distribution of U-series nuclides in the ocean

Abstract

Air-sea gas exchange plays a key role in the cycling of greenhouse and other biogeochemically important gases. Although air-sea gas transfer is expected to change as a consequence of the rapid decline in summer Arctic sea ice cover, little is known about the effect of sea-ice cover on gas exchange fluxes, especially in the marginal ice zone. During the Polarstern expedition ARK-XXVI/3 (TransArc, Aug/Sep 2011) to the central Arctic Ocean, we compared 222Rn/226Ra ratios in the upper 50m of 14 ice-covered and 4 ice-free stations. At three of the ice-free stations, we find 222Rn-based gas transfer coefficients in good agreement with expectation based on published relationships between gas transfer and wind speed over open water when accounting for wind history from wind reanalysis data. We hypothesize that the low gas transfer rate at the fourth station results from reduced fetch due to the proximity of the ice edge, or lateral exchange across the front at the ice edge by restratification. No significant radon deficit could be observed at the ice-covered stations. At these stations, the average gas transfer velocity was less than 0.1 m/d (97.5% confidence), compared to 0.5-2.2 m/d expected for open water. Our results show that air-sea gas exchange in an ice-covered ocean is reduced by at least an order of magnitude compared to open water. In contrast to previous studies, we show that in partially ice-covered regions, gas exchange is lower than expected based on a linear scaling to percent ice cover.

Author Posting. © American Geophysical Union, 2004. This article is posted here by permission of American Geophysical Union for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Paleoceanography 19 (2004): PA1018, doi:10.1029/2003PA000939., There is increasing evidence indicating that syndepositional redistribution of sediment on the seafloor by bottom currents is common and can significantly affect sediment mass accumulation rates. Notwithstanding its common incidence, this process (generally referred to as sediment focusing) is often difficult to recognize. If redistribution is near synchronous to deposition, the stratigraphy of the sediment is not disturbed and sediment focusing can easily be overlooked. Ignoring it, however, can lead to serious misinterpretations of sedimentary fluxes, particularly when past changes in export flux from the overlying water are inferred. In many instances, this problem can be resolved, at least for sediments deposited during the late Quaternary, by normalizing to the flux of 230Th scavenged from seawater, which is nearly constant and equivalent to the known rate of production of 230Th from the decay of dissolved 234U. We review the principle, advantages and limitations of this method. Notwithstanding its limitations, it is clear that 230Th normalization does provide a means of achieving more accurate interpretations of sedimentary fluxes and eliminates the risk of serious misinterpretations of sediment mass accumulation rates., R.

For each topic, the problem is identified, its magnitude and causes reviewed using selected examples, and an update on methods to correct for the potential bias or minimize the problem using new technologies is presented. To minimize hydrodynamic biases due to flow over the trap mouth, the use of neutrally buoyant sediment traps is encouraged. The influence of swimmers is best minimized using traps that limit zooplankton access to the sample collection chamber. New data on the impact of different swimmer removal protocols at the US time-series sites HOT and BATS are compared and shown to be important. Recent data on solubilization are compiled and assessed suggesting selective losses from sinking particles to the trap supernatant after collection, which may alter both fluxes and ratios of elements in long term and typically deeper trap deployments. Different methods are needed to assess shallow and short- term trap solubilization effects, but thus far new incubation experiments suggest these impacts to be small for most elements. A discussion of trap calibration methods reviews independent assessments of flux, including elemental budgets, particle abundance and flux modeling, and emphasizes the utility of U-Th radionuclide calibration methods., WG meetings and production of this report was partially supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation via grants to the SCOR.

The definitive version was published in Marine Chemistry 100 (2006): 190-212, doi:10.1016/j.marchem.2005.10.012., The short-lived thorium isotope 234Th (half-life 24.1 days) has been used as a tracer for a variety of transport processes in aquatic systems. Its use as a tracer of oceanic export via sinking particles has stimulated a rapidly increasing number of studies that require analyses of 234Th in both marine and freshwater systems. The original 234Th method is labour intensive. Thus, there has been a quest for simpler techniques that require smaller sample volumes. Here, we review current methodologies in the collection and analysis of 234Th from the water column, discuss their individual strengths and weaknesses, and provide an outlook on possible further improvements and future challenges. Also included in this review are recommendations on calibration procedures and the production of standard reference materials as well as a flow chart designed to help researchers find the most appropriate 234Th analytical technique for a specific aquatic regime and known sampling constraints., Individuals and science efforts discussed herein were supported by many national science programs, including the U.S. National Science Foundation and U.S. Department of Energy and the Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia of Spain.

Abstract

Production of biogenic silica and dissolution processes in the water column and surface sediment are important aspects for the investigation and reconstruction of present and past productivity of the ocean. Although the geological record of biogenic silica is often used as a proxy for paleoceanographic processes in the Southern Ocean, little is known about the present regional distribution of biogenic silica flux and accumulation and their relation to primary production in surface waters. Based on more than 130 sediment and pore water samples, the regional differences of the biogenic silica flux to the sea floor of the southern South Atlantic were investigated. In contrast to biogenic silica content, the dissolved Si-flux through the sediment/water interface, caused by intense dissolution of BSi in surface sediments, reflects biogenic production in surface waters. This was inferred by observed increases of Si-fluxes in regions of recurrent polynya formation or in the vicinity of Marginal Ice Zones as at the Weddell-Scotia Sea boundary. In the Scotia Sea, where no benthic fluxes were reported before, we found a considerable burial of biogenic silica and biogenic silica fluxes to the sea floor of ∼800–1300 mmol m-2 a-1. This is a significantly higher flux than derived for the known opal accumulation area in the SE Atlantic, further to the east in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, where a flux of ∼600–767 mmol m-2 a-1 was observed. This shows that the Scotia Sea is not a gap within the Circumpolar Antarctic Opal Belt as previously assumed. The geochemical budget for different sub-regions of the South Atlantic was considered by a Geographic Information System. In contrast to most previous attempts, this ensures the accurate consideration of the spatial distribution of sampling sites, a crucial aspect for the accuracy of geochemical budgets. For the South Atlantic we calculated the flux of biogenic silica to the sea floor as ∼5.1×1012 mol a-1. Only ∼0.84×1012 mol a-1 is

Abstract

This study provides dissolved and particulate 230Th and 232Th results as well as particulate 234Th data collected during expeditions to the central Arctic Ocean (GEOTRACES, an international project to identify processes and quantify fluxes that control the distributions of trace elements; sections GN04 and GIPY11). Constructing a time series of dissolved 230Th from 1991 to 2015 enables the identification of processes that control the temporal development of 230Th distributions in the Amundsen Basin. After 2007, 230Th concentrations decreased significantly over the entire water column, particularly between 300 and 1500 m. This decrease is accompanied by a circulation change, evidenced by a concomitant increase in salinity. A potentially increased inflow of water of Atlantic origin with low dissolved 230Th concentrations leads to the observed depletion in dissolved 230Th in the central Arctic. Because atmospherically derived tracers (chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)) do not reveal an increase in ventilation rate, it is suggested that these interior waters have undergone enhanced scavenging of Th during transit from Fram Strait and the Barents Sea to the central Amundsen Basin. The 230Th depletion propagates downward in the water column by settling particles and reversible scavenging., Ocean Science, 16 (1), ISSN:1812-0784, ISSN:1812-0792

Abstract

The precise determination of radium‐226 (226Ra) in environmental samples is challenging due to its low concentration. Seawater typically contains between 0.03 and 0.1 fg g−1 226Ra. Thus, this work addresses the need for an easy and precise methodology for 226Ra determination in seawater that may be applied routinely to a large number of samples. For this reason, a new analytical approach has been developed for the quantification of 226Ra in seawater via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS). Analysis by single collector sector‐field ICP‐MS was shown to be convenient and reliable for this purpose once potential molecular interferences were excluded by a combination of chemical separation and intermediate mass resolution analysis. The proposed method allows purification of Ra from the sample matrix based on preconcentration by MnO2 precipitation, followed by two‐column separation using a cation exchange resin and an extraction chromatographic resin. The method can be applied to acidified and unacidified seawater samples. The recovery efficiency for Ra ranged between 90% and 99.8%, with precision of 5%, accuracy of 95.7% to 99.9%, and a detection limit of 0.033 fg g−1 (referring to the original concentration of seawater). The method has been applied to measure 226Ra concentrations from the North Sea and validated by analyzing samples from the central Arctic (GEOTRACES GN04). Samples from a crossover station (from GEOTRACES GN04 and GEOTRACES GN01 research cruises) were analyzed using alternative methods, and our results are in good agreement with published values., Helmholtz Association http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100009318
