Non-linear response of summertime marine productivity to increased meltwater discharge around Greenland

Non-linear response of summertime marine productivity to increased meltwater discharge around Greenland

Discharge from Greenland is known to deliver nutrients to the marine environment. Here, the authors show that the majority of the nutrients fueling summertime productivity downstream of Greenland’s glaciers seemingly originate from entrainment in subglacial discharge plumes rather than from meltwate...
