15-30% sinks daily: 70-85% remains in UML If there’s a POC/PON signal it should be observable in the UML enhanced sinking from the surface layer, where POC/PON is the same, would lead to enhanced N drawdown
Dilution by rainwater? ΔDICFF-P = 129 µmol/kg ΔDICFF-P = 31 µmol/kg 31/129*16m3 ~ 4m3 Egge & Aksnes 1992
Leakage of air? ΔDICFF-P = 31 µmol/kg*1.023kg/L*15632L /7d/24h/d/60min/h/(1050-380ppm)*22.4L/mol = 1.6 L air/min Egge & Aksnes 1992
