摘要

Continental margins exert a strong influence on global biogeochemical cycles; however there have been relatively few attempts to quantify either the magnitude or nature of temporal variability in material fluxes. At present here are no reports on nutrient fluxes at the mouth of the Gulf of California (GC) so further information is needed to provide estimated values from direct measurements. From 1995-1999 during five cruises covering all seasons, seawater samples were collected and measured the nutrient content from the surface to the bottom (some deeper than 2500 m) from a repeated hydrographic sections at the mouth of the GC. This chemical and physical database is unique because it covers an area with important biogeochemical signs, which has been detected as one of the highest in primary productivity of the world oceans. These sections are perpendicular to the coastlines of the Mexican states of Baja California Sur (BCS) and Sinaloa. In this section, the most dynamic area was the surface waters in February 1999 with strong geostrophic currents and temperatures of 20±1.5℃; salinity 35.091 ±0.156; pH 8.16±0.13; phosphate 0.8510.42 μM, nitrate + nitrite 2.35 ± 2.94 μM, and ammonia 2.00 ± 1.25 μM (average ± standard deviation). Geostrophic velocities were computed from high-resolution CTD sections across the entrance to the GC. During winter and spring, the outflow occurred near BCS and the inflow occurred either through the center of the section and/or along the Sinaloa coast. Both inflow and outflow cores were 45 km wide and extended deeper than 700 m. Summer and fall showed a complex pattern, alternating cores of inflow and outflow but with inflow along Sinaloa on all cruises. The maximum flow into the Gulf occurs during May in the center of the section while outflow was concentrated along BCS. Mascarenhas et al. [Mascarenhas, A., Castro, R., Collins, C.A., Durazo, R., 2004. Seasonal variation of geostrophic velocity and heat flux at the entrance to the Gulf of California, Mexico. J. Journal Geophysical Research, 2124.] calculated the section mean geostrophic velocity that was composed of two alternating cores of inflow and outflow. The two cores that were adjacent to either coast were broader and contained the highest inflow (0.40 m s~(-1)) and outflow (-0.25 m s~(-1)) velocities, supporting the general idea of inflow along the Sinaloa and an outflow along BCS. The highest nutrient fluxes occur during El Nino conditions in November 1997 with outflows as high as 54.5 Tg yr~(-1) for Phosphate, 43.0 Tg yr~(-1) for Nitrate and 31.7 Tg yr~(-1) for Ammonia, this values were at least three times higher than in February 1999.

Journal Geophysical Research,2124。]计算了剖面平均地转速度,该速度由流入和流出的两个交替核心组成。与任一海岸相邻的两个岩心都较宽,并具有最高的流入速度(0.40 ms〜(-1))和流出速度(-0.25 ms〜(-1)),这支持了沿锡那罗亚河(Sinaloa)和河床的总体思路。沿BCS流出。在1997年11月的厄尔尼诺条件下,养分通量最高,磷酸盐的流出量高达54.5 Tg yr〜(-1),硝酸盐的流出量高达43.0 Tg yr〜(-1),氨的流出量高达31.7 Tg yr〜(-1),该值至少比1999年2月高三倍。
