A rapid transition from ice covered CO<sub>2</sub>–rich waters to a biologically mediated CO<sub>2</sub> sink in the eastern Weddell Gyre

Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW), locally called Warm Deep Water (WDW), enters the Weddell Gyre in the southeast, roughly at 25&deg; E to 30&deg; E. In December 2002 and January 2003 we studied the effect of entrainment of WDW on the fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO<sub>2</sub>) and d...
