An eddy-stimulated hotspot for fixed nitrogen-loss from the Peru oxygen minimum zone
2012
Biogeosciences Discussions
Fixed nitrogen (N) loss to biogenic N 2 in intense oceanic O 2 minimum zones (OMZ) accounts for a large fraction of the global N sink and is an essential control on the ocean's N-budget. However, major uncertainties exist regarding microbial pathways as well as net impact on the magnitude of N-loss and the ocean's overall N-budget. Here we report the discovery of a N-loss hotspot in the Peru OMZ associated with a coastally trapped mesoscale eddy that is marked by an extreme N-deficit matched by
