Nitrous oxide in coastal waters [PDF]
We determined atmospheric and dissolved nitrous oxide (N2O) in the surface waters of the central North Sea, the German Bight, and the Gironde estuary.

Mediterranean overflow water in the North Atlantic and its multidecadal variability
The Mediterranean overflow water is one of the most important intermediate-depth water masses in the North Atlantic. To investigate its properties a pre-industrial simulation with the earth system model EC-Earth is used.

Ferromanganese nodules and micro-hardgrounds associated with the Cadiz Contourite Channel (NE Atlantic): Palaeoenvironmental records of fluid venting and bottom currents [PDF]
Ferromanganese nodule fields and hardgrounds have recently been discovered in the Cadiz Contourite Channel in the Gulf of Cadiz (850–1000 m). This channel is part of a large contourite depositional system generated by the Mediterranean Outflow Water ...

Ventilation of the Mediterranean Sea constrained by multiple transient tracer measurements [PDF]
Ventilation is the primary pathway for atmosphere–ocean boundary perturbations, such as temperature anomalies, to be relayed to the ocean interior. It is also a conduit for gas exchange between the interface of atmosphere and ocean.

Bottom water masses on the European continental margins
For the first time, a detailed map of bottom water masses across the European continental margins, illustrating the influence of 24 water masses on the seafloor. The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) (6.1 million km²) and the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW)

Hydrography in the Mediterranean Sea during a cruise with RV Poseidon in April 2014 [PDF]
We report on data from an oceanographic cruise in the Mediterranean Sea on the German research vessel Poseidon in April 2014. Data were taken on a west–east section, starting at the Strait of Gibraltar and ending south-east of Crete, as well on sections ...

The assessment of the saturation state (Ω) for calcium carbonate minerals (aragonite and calcite) in the ocean is important to determine if calcifying organisms have favourable or unfavourable conditions to synthesize their carbonated structures.

Seasonal variability of intermediate water masses in the Gulf of Cádiz: implications of the Antarctic and subarctic seesaw [PDF]
Global circulation of intermediate water masses has been extensively studied; however, its regional and local circulation along continental margins and variability and implications on sea floor morphologies are still not well known.

The vertical structure of upper ocean variability at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain during 2012-2013 [PDF]
This study presents the characterization of variability in temperature, salinity and oxygen concentration, including the vertical structure of the variability, in the upper 1000m of the ocean over a full year in the northeast Atlantic.
