摘要: Throughout most of the year, there exists within North Atlantic subtropical ocean mixed layer a3He excess which can only be attributed to a flux tritiugenic3He from below. The upward required support this computed as convolution time series of3He and gas-exchange rate. This is quantitatively consistent with long-term evolution main thermocline inventories tritium 3He. Using observed correlation 3He nitrate upper thermocline, I estimate annually averaged into euphotic zone 0.6 ±0.2 moles m−2 per yr. sufficient new, non-regenerative primary productivity in 3 carbon m−2per
