Primary production dynamics during the decline phase of the North Atlantic annual spring bloom

Abstract: The second field campaign of the NASA EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) program was conducted in the late spring of 2021 within the vicinity of the Porcupine Abyssal Plain (49.0 degrees N, 16.5 degrees W) in the North Atlantic Ocean. Observations from EXPORTS support previous characterizations of this system as highly productive and organic matter rich, with the majority of primary production occurring in large cells (>5 microns) such as diatoms that are primarily utilizing nitrate… Show more

“…We observed substantial dynamics in N. Atlantic respiration rates driven by the decline of a phytoplankton bloom and multiple mixing events. Here, large phytoplankton were more prevalent than in the N. Pacific (Meyer et al, 2023). Accordingly, our N. Atlantic whole water respiration rates were, on average, 1.4fold higher than the N. Pacific and small size-fraction rates were, on average, 1.3-fold lower.…”

“…At PAP, we initially observed a declining, large phytoplankton bloom, marked by reduced primary production and chlorophyll-a levels (Meyer et al, 2023). During this period, surface whole water and small-fraction respiration decreased (Figure 7B).…”
