Processes underlying tidal variability of carbon dioxide in the Tagus Estuary (Portugal)
Tidal variation of CO2 system parameters was evaluated in the Tagus Estuary (SW Portugal) based on field observations performed in 2007 in the lower estuary under low river discharge conditions, during spring and autumn. Differences were found in the distribution patterns of environmental variables...

Se evaluó la variabilidad asociada a las mareas de los parámetros del sistema del CO2 en el estuario del Tajo (SO de Portugal) en base a observaciones de campo de 2007 en la parte baja del estuario en condiciones de poca descarga fluvial en la primavera y el otoño. Se encontraron diferencias en los patrones de distribución de las variables ambientales a lo largo del ciclo de mareas en las mareas muertas y las mareas vivas debidas esencialmente a los efectos de la amplitud y el comportamiento asimétrico de las mareas. Se detectó una corriente dominante de este a oeste que transporta mar adentro agua del estuario enriquecida en CO2 principalmente durante el reflujo y que se revierte en una corriente de marea de agua de mar más oxigenada y con alta concentración de clorofila a durante el flujo de la marea. Se observaron diferentes rasgos estacionales en términos de las propiedades del agua relacionadas con el CO2 y la productividad. Con relación a la variabilidad mareal de los parámetros del sistema del CO2, además de procesos claves que controlan la variabilidad como el transporte por las mareas y la mezcla de las dos masas de agua presentes (estuarina y oceánica), se ha visto que algunos procesos biogeoquímicos juegan también un papel muy importante en ésta. Los datos obtenidos indican que los procesos de fotosíntesis (en primavera), respiración aeróbica, y precipitación/disolución del CaCO3 (principalmente en otoño) concurren y controlan variaciones de corto plazo en el CO2, lo que refleja la complejidad de la química de este compuesto en el estuario del Tajo.Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California2011-02-042021-06-03T03:55:18Z2021-06-03T03:55:18Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtículo Arbitradoapplication/pdfhttps://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/178410.7773/cm.v38i1B.1784 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7436Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 38 No. 1B (2012); 209-221Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 38 Núm. 1B (2012); 209-2212395-90530185-3880reponame:Repositorio Institucional de la UABCSinstname:Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Surinstacron:UABCSenghttps://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/1784/1666info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorioinstitucional.uabc.mx:20.500.12930/74362024-09-18T21:36:34Z |
