Abstract:
Upwelling systems are significant sources of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N₂O). The Benguela Upwelling System is one of the most productive regions worldwide and a temporally variable source of N₂O. Strong O₂ depletions above the shelf are favoring periodically OMZ formations. We aimed to assess underlying N₂O production and consumption processes on different temporal and spatial scales during austral winter in the Benguela Upwelling System, when O₂⁻deficiency in the water column is relatively low.
The fieldwork took place during the cruise M157 (August 4ᵗʰ – September 16ᵗʰ 2019) onboard the R/V METEOR. This expedition included four close-coastal regions around Walvis Bay at 23°S, which presented the lowest O₂ concentrations near the seafloor and thus may provide hotspots of N₂O production.
Seawater was collected in 10 L free-flow bottles by using a rosette system equipped with conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensors (SBE 911plus, Seabird-electronics, USA).Seawater samples were collected from 10 L free-flow bottles bubble-free, filled into 200 mL serum bottles and immediately fixed with saturated mercury chloride (HgCl₂). Concentrations of dissolved N₂O were measured by a purge and trap system using a dynamic headspace (Sabbaghzadeh et al., 2021). The N₂O gas saturation (N₂Oₛₐₜ in %) was calculated from the concentration ratio between the seawater sample and seawater equilibrated with the atmosphere. ∆N₂O (N₂O saturation disequilibrium in nmol L⁻¹) was calculated as the difference between the measured N₂O concentration and the atmospheric equilibrium N₂O concentration using Bunsen solubility coefficient (Weiss and Price, 1980). AOU (apparent oxygen utilization in µmol L⁻¹) expresses the O₂ consumption by microbial respiration and was calculated as the difference between the equilibrated O₂ and observed O₂ concentration with the same physico-chemical properties (Weiss and Price, 1980).
