In the vast Low Nutrient Low‐Chlorophyll (LNLC) Ocean, the vertical nutrient supply from the subsurface to the sunlit surface waters is low, and atmospheric contribution of nutrients may be one order of magnitude greater over short timescales. The short turnover time of atmospheric Fe and N supply (<1 month for nitrate) further supports deposition being an important source of nutrients in LNLC regions. Yet, the extent to which atmospheric inputs are impacting biological activity and modifying the carbon balance in oligotrophic environments has not been constrained. Here, we quantify and compare the biogeochemical impacts of atmospheric deposition in LNLC regions using both a compilation of experimental data and model outputs. A metadata‐analysis of recently conducted field and laboratory bioassay experiments reveals complex responses, and the overall impact is not a simple “fertilization effect of increasing phytoplankton biomass” as observed in HNLC regions. Although phytoplankton growth may be enhanced, increases in bacterial activity and respiration result in weakening of biological carbon sequestration. The application of models using climatological or time‐averaged non‐synoptic deposition rates produced responses that were generally much lower than observed in the bioassay experiments. We demonstrate that experimental data and model outputs show better agreement on short timescale (days to weeks) when strong synoptic pulse of aerosols deposition, similar in magnitude to those observed in the field and introduced in bioassay experiments, is superimposed over the mean atmospheric deposition fields. These results suggest that atmospheric impacts in LNLC regions have been underestimated by models, at least at daily to weekly timescales, as they typically overlook large synoptic variations in atmospheric deposition and associated nutrient and particle inputs. Inclusion of the large synoptic variability of atmospheric input, and improved representation and parameterization of key processes that respond to atmospheric deposition, is required to better constrain impacts in ocean biogeochemical models. This is critical for understanding and prediction of current and future functioning of LNLC regions and their contribution to the global carbon cycle.

The Added Utility Of Nonlinear Techniques In Rescaling Soil Moisture Time Series
Madhi, Afshar; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (null; 2015-12-14)
Soil moisture is one of the key parameters in geophysical processes. There are different techniques available for the retrieval of this variable (i.e., hydrological models, in-situ observations, or remote sensing). Although the soil moisture values obtained from these different platforms have temporal and spatial consistency, they often have differences in their signal (i.e. variance) components and/or in their scales. Therefore, it is necessary to rescale these datasets to a reference dataset in order to a...
The spatial and temporal variability of limnological properties of a very large and deep reservoir
Soyupak, S; Yemisen, D; Mukhallalati, L; Erdem, S; Akbay, N; Yerli, S (1998-01-01)
The reservoir of Keban Dam is a very deep and large water body of temperate zone exhibiting special characteristics with respect to its limnological properties. One of the major characteristics is the development and seasonal persistence of metalimnetic oxygen minima. This characteristic has been observed for three consecutive years. Spatial heterogeneity with respect to several parameters was another distinct property that has been clearly identified. The long term study has identified the existence of an ...
The influence of nutrient loading, climate and water depth on nitrogen and phosphorus loss in shallow lakes: a pan-European mesocosm experiment
Coppens, Jan; Hejzlar, Josef; Sorf, Michal; Jeppesen, Erik; Erdogan, Aeyda; Scharfenberger, Ulrike; Mahdy, Aldoushy; Noges, Peeter; Tuvikene, Arvo; Baho, Didier L.; Trigal, Cristina; Papastergiadou, Eva; Stefanidis, Kostas; Olsen, Saara; Beklioğlu, Meryem (2016-09-01)
Losses of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) have important influences on in-lake concentrations and nutrient loading to downstream ecosystems. We performed a series of mesocosm experiments along a latitudinal gradient from Sweden to Greece to investigate the factors influencing N and P loss under different climatic conditions. In six countries, a standardised mesocosm experiment with two water depths and two nutrient levels was conducted concurrently between May and November 2011. Our results showed external ...
Investigation of the impact of the nonlinear relations among soil moisture products over data fusion process
Afshar, Mehdi; Bulut, Burak; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (2017-04-28)
Soil moisture is one of the terrestrial essential climate variables that has critical role in the water, energy, and carbon cycles. There are different ways available for the retrieval of this essential variable (e.g., remote sensing, hydrological models, insitu measurements, and etc.). However, the time series of these retrievals often contain systematic differences, which need to be removed via different rescaling approaches before these data sets could be used in data fusion type studies. In this study, ...
The effect of gas production from deeper conventional gas reservoirs on shallower gas hydrate layer stability: A case study in the conditions of the Sakarya gas field, Western Black Sea
Aydın, Hakkı; Merey, Şükrü (Elsevier BV, 2021-6)
Gas hydrate deposits are generally found in the shallow deepwater regions where continuous permafrost exists. The presence of water, methane and thermodynamic conditions (low temperature and high pressure) is critical for gas hydrate accumulation. Disturbing thermodynamic conditions such as depressurizing and thermal treatment are the primary processes for gas hydrate dissociation. In this study, we investigate the stability of a shallow depth gas hydrate layer in the conditions of conventional gas producti...
