摘要: Abstract Over 100 measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC), nitrogen (PN) and dissolved (DOC), based on bottle collections, were made through the ice in Arctic Ocean as part Canadian CESAR expedition. Despite considerable scatter at all depths, three variables show a general decrease with depth to bottom (2100 m). The average PN concentrations are lowest yet reported, POC upper 500 m. DOC similar other oceanic regions. There is no relationship between any variable water mass structure. C:N ratio (by weight) material 11.5 surface layer increases depth. Compared data collected from oceans, demonstrate gradients which steepest for least DOC. also broad scale primary production throughout column.
