Spatial distribution characteristics of carbazole and polyhalogenated carbazoles in water column and sediments in the open Western Pacific Ocean.
Songtao Hu,Lijia Jiang,Lingbo Jiang,Anura Upasanta Kumara Wickrama Arachchige,Hao Yu,Zhaochao Deng,Longyu Li,Chunsheng Wang,Dongsheng Zhang,Shiquan Lin +9 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the spatial distribution of carbazole and polyhalogenated carbazoles in the Western Pacific Ocean, revealing high detection frequencies and varying concentrations in seawater and sediments, with evidence of vertical transport and natural degradation in sediment cores.

Microbiological and Organic-Chemical Processes in the Surface and Mixed Layers
John McN. Sieburth
- 01 Jan 1983
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the microbiological processes, and the organic-chemical transformations that occur, when microorganisms utilize one gas as a raw material while releasing another gas as byproduct during the synthesis and decay of organic matter.

Biofilm-like properties of the sea surface and predicted effects on air-sea CO2 exchange
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found up to 40 times more transparent exopolymer particles (TEP), the foundation of any biofilm, in slicks compared to the underlying bulk water at multiple stations in the North Pacific, South China Sea, and Baltic Sea.

TL;DR: A pan-ocean, size-dependent plankton biogeography overlying regional heterogeneity is reported, finding robust evidence for a basin-scale impact of transport by ocean currents on planktonBiogeography, and on a characteristic timescale of community dynamics going beyond simple seasonality or life history transitions of plankton.
Genomic evidence for global ocean plankton biogeography shaped by large-scale current systems
TL;DR: In this article , the authors assessed the global structure of plankton geography and its relation to the biological, chemical, and physical context of the ocean (the ‘seascape’) by analyzing metagenomes from plankton communities sampled across oceans during the Tara Oceans expedition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the metal concentrations in aerosol samples in the Sea Surface Microlayer (SML) and in subsurface waters (SSWs) from the western Mediterranean Sea were analyzed during a cruise in May-June 2017.
