Revising Estimates of Aquatic Gross Oxygen Production by the Triple Oxygen Isotope Method to Incorporate the Local Isotopic Composition of Water

Abstract: Measurement of the triple oxygen isotope (TOI) composition of O2 is an established method for quantifying gross oxygen production (GOP) in natural waters. A standard assumption to this method is that the isotopic composition of H2O, the substrate for photosynthetic O2, is equivalent to Vienna standard mean ocean water (VSMOW). We present and validate a method for estimating the TOI composition of H2O based on mixing of local meteoric water and seawater H2O end‐members, and incorporating the TOI composition of … Show more

“…On the few samples that δ 18 O-H 2 O was not available, δ 18 O-H 2 O was estimated from a relationship with salinity from all the measured samples from that year. Including the measured δ 18 O-H 2 O is important in the Arctic-neglecting it can lead to errors of up to 50% (Manning et al, 2017). Varying the 17 Δ excess of seawater by 8 per meg (2 standard deviations of the global average (Luz & Barkan, 2010)) changes the GOP estimate by 5-6% on average (Manning et al, 2017).…”

Varying the 17 Δ excess of seawater by 8 per meg (2 standard deviations of the global average (Luz & Barkan, 2010)) changes the GOP estimate by 5-6% on average (Manning et al, 2017). The combined error in the calculations excluding the contribution from gas transfer velocity is 12% for GOP.…”

“…This value for λ is selected so that 17 is nearly unaffected by respiratory O 2 consumption and reflects the proportion of O 2 that is derived from photosynthesis relative to air-water gas exchange (Hendricks et al, 2005;Juranek and Quay, 2013;Nicholson et al, 2014). We report 17 in per meg (1 per meg = 0.001 ‰) due to the small range of values in natural waters, typically 8-242 per meg (Juranek and Quay, 2013;Manning et al, 2017a). Two key constraints in the calculation of GOP from measurements of the triple isotopic composition of O 2 are the isotopic composition of O 2 derived from air-water exchange and the isotopic composition of photosynthetic O 2 .…”

“…The composition of photosynthetic O 2 is dependent on the triple oxygen isotopic composition of H 2 O, the substrate for photosynthetic O 2 , and the isotopic fractionation associated with photosynthetic O 2 production. In oceanic studies, a common assumption is that the H 2 O isotopic composition is equivalent to VSMOW (standard mean ocean water), but in brackish systems it is necessary to estimate the isotopic composition of water and incorporate this into the GOP calculation (Manning et al, 2017a).…”

“…All uncertainties are expressed as the standard deviation. (Manning et al, 2017a). If the 17 O-excess of H 2 O is increased or decreased by 20 per meg, GOP changes by an average of 10 %.…”
