Estimates of the local sources and sinks of inorganic combined nitrogen in the Arabian Sea suggest a net loss of sup(-)3 x 10 sup(13) gN y sup(-1). This seems to be made up largely by the upward flux facilitatEd. by a high ...

Measurements of the activity of the respirtory electron transport system (ETS) at 15 stations in the Arabian Sea during the northeast monsoon (December 1988) yield high respiration rates that do not correlate with the ...

The history of the Red Sea Outflow (RSO) over the past 27,000 years from an AMS sup(14) C-dated high-resolution Delta sup(13) C record of benthic foraminifera from the inner Gulf of Aden assuming the dominance of circulation ...

An acute oxygen deficiency at mid-depths in the Arabian SEa leads to large-scale microbial conversion (denitrification) of the oxidised combined nitrogen species to molecular nitrogen (N sub(2)) at an estimated rate of ...

Measurements of nitrous oxide (N2O) at 16 stations in the Arabian Sea reveal high degrees of surface saturation (186 plus or minus 37%) and consequently large atmospheric fluxes of N2O (4.46 plus or minus 2.60 mu mol ...

Utilizing all the available data, the distribution of nitrite at the secondary nitrite maximum is studied to delineate the boundaries of the denitrification zone and to understand some of the processes that control the ...

This report provides a review of various hypotheses put forward so far as to the role of the oceans in controlling the glacial-interglacial climatic cycles through controls on the atmospheric carbon dioxide. The available ...
