The Eastern North Atlantic Central Water layer is mainly constituted by its subpolar component and Mediterranean Water appears very diluted, its dilution increasing northeastward.

En este trabajo se estimó la distribución de las diferentes masas de agua usando un método óptimo multiparamétrico extendido y se estudió la distribución del carbono antropogénico calculado en las mismas usando dos métodos distintos. Con respecto a las masas de agua presentes en la región, la capa de Agua Central del Este del Atlántico Norte está principalmente constituida por su componente subpolar y el agua Mediterránea aparece muy diluida, aumentando su dilución hacia el noreste. En relación al inventario de carbono antropogénico hay pequeñas diferencias entre los dos métodos utilizados, 95 vs 87 mol C m–2, aunque en ambos se observa el mismo patrón de distribución vertical, la concentración decrece con la profundidad. El Agua Central del Atlántico Nororiental presenta el mayor inventario de carbono antropogénico, que corresponde a más del 50% de la columna total (52%). Este trabajo confirma el papel relevante del golfo de Vizcaya como un sumidero de carbono antropogénico en la circulación oceánica. 2011-03-17 2021-06-03T03:55:19Z 2021-06-03T03:55:19Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article Artículo Arbitrado https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/1820 10.7773/cm.v38i1B.1820 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7443 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/1820/1665 application/pdf Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 38 No. 1B (2012); 191-207 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 38 Núm. 1B (2012); 191-207 2395-9053 0185-3880
