DOI: 10.1002/2016gb005507
Abstract: The extent to which water mass mixing and ocean ventilation contribute to nitrous oxide (N2O) distribution at the scale of oceanic basins is poorly constrained. We used novel N2O and chlorofluorocarbon measurements along with multiparameter… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2016gl071895
Abstract: Using Argo floats, we show that a major deep convective activity occurred simultaneously in the Labrador Sea (LAB), South of Cap Farewell (SCF) and the Irminger Sea (IRM) during winter 2014–2015. Convection was driven by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2016jc012335
Abstract: Euphotic layer dinitrogen (N-2) fixation and primary production (PP) were measured in the eastern Atlantic Ocean (38 degrees N-21 degrees S) using N-15(2) and C-13 bicarbonate tracer incubations. This region is influenced by Saharan dust… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl076921
Abstract: The regional variability of wintertime marine cold air outbreaks (CAOs) in the northeastern North Atlantic is studied focusing on the role of weather regimes in modulating the large-scale circulation. Each regime is characterized by a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017jc012696
Abstract: Recent work has begun to elucidate the biogeochemical cycling of scandium (Sc) in the open ocean, but so far no surface distribution data has been reported of dissolved Sc, and no basin-scale surface distributions have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017jc012845
Abstract: The subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA) is subject to strong decadal variability, with implications for surface climate and its predictability. In 2004–2005, SPNA decadal upper ocean and sea-surface temperature trends reversed from warming during 1994–2004 to… read more here.
