dc.description.abstractSummer near-surface seawater sampling in the Canadian Arctic revealed potential for significant errors (nearly 0.1 μmol·(m-2 s -1)) in CO2 fluxes calculated from measured air-sea CO2 gradients. River runoff and sea ice melt strongly stratify these waters, often resulting in surface mixed layers only a few meters thick and isolated from waters sampled by shipboard underway systems. Samples collected with the underway system, rosette, and small boats exposed substantial near-surface gradients in CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) over the top 7 m at many stations. Distributions of temperature, salinity, and fluorescence indicated that the sources of the CO2 system gradients varied between stations, precluding simple corrections to align subsurface data with shallower conditions. Overall, the strong summertime sink of atmospheric CO2 implied by the underway data was not supported by shallower data.en_US
