All surface pCO_2 values were below atmospheric levels indicating an uptake of atmospheric CO_2. During sea ice formation, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) content is reduced causing sea ice to be under saturated in CO_2. Approximately 1% of the DIC forced out of growing sea ice was released into the atmosphere while the remaining 99% was exported to the underlying water column. Sea ice covered the fjord 9 months a year and thereby efficiently blocked air–sea CO_2 exchange. During sea ice melt, dissolution of C_aCO_3 combined with primary production and strong stratification of the water column acted to lower surface-water pCO_2 levels in the fjord. Also, a large input of glacial melt water containing geochemically reactive carbonate minerals may contribute to the low surface-water pCO_2 levels. The average annual uptake of atmospheric CO_2was estimated at 2.7 mol CO_2m~(-2 )yr~(-1) or 32 gCm~(-2 )yr~(-1) for the study area, which is lower than estimates from the Greenland Sea.Variability in duration of sea ice cover caused significant year-to-year variation in annual gas exchange. 收起
