Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The concentrations of dissolved CO2, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll have been determined in the surface seawater of the English Channel and of the Southern Eight of the North Sea in June 1992, April-May 1993 and September-October 1993. The partial pressure of CO2(pCO(2)) displays large spatial and temporal variations ranging from 100 ppm up to 670 ppm. The relationship between seawater pCO(2) and chlorophyll distribution is discussed and compared with data recently obtained in the North Atlantic by A. J. Watson, C. Robinson, J. E. Robertson, P. J. le B. Williams and J. R. Fasham (1991) Nature, 350, 50-53. Air-sea CO2 fluxes have been calculated from wind speed and pCO(2) data and, due to the combined effect of both of those parameters, the flux can be as high as about 150 mmol m(-2) d(-1). This implies that shelves could play an appreciable role in the global C budget. Further extended CO2 level measurements should be made to improve flux estimations for the coastal zone on a global basis. |
