Extended Data Fig. 8: Results of REcoM2 runs for the field transect North of Severnaya Zemlya and comparison with POC distribution in the field.
From: Carbon dioxide sink in the Arctic Ocean from cross-shelf transport of dense Barents Sea water
REcoM outputs for August 2018 of: a, conservative temperature (°C), b, absolute salinity (g kg-1), c, potential density anomaly (kg m−3), d, vertical velocity (m d−1), e, particulate organic carbon (POC; mg m−3) and f, dissolved organic carbon (DOC; mmol m−3). g, field data estimates of the total POC concentration (mg m−3). Black isolines in a-f indicate absolute salinity of 34.94 g kg−1 and red isolines potential density anomaly of 27.97 kg m−3 used for BSBW identification in the model. The area above the solid (absolute salinity <35.06 g kg−1) and below the dashed isolines (potential density anomaly > 27.97 kg m−3) in g indicates BSBW as identified in the field.
