During the 28th Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition, the seas adjacent to the tip of the Antarctic.Peninsula (TAP), including the Scotia Sea, parts of the Bransfield Strait, and the Powell Basin, were investigated..The results show that the vertical distributions of N2O on both sides of the TAP are similar but that elevated.N2O concentrations and corresponding upper circumpolar deep water (CDW) signals in the Scotia Sea are.absent from the Powell Basin, where the largest areas of Weddell Sea deep water were observed during this.cruise. The average air-sea N2O flux of the study area is ~ 8.83 3.32 μmol m−2 d−1, suggesting that these.waters, while significant, are not an overwhelming source of atmospheric N2O. The results of one dimensional.box model indicate that the upwelling of the CDW contributes to the N2O flux north of TAP. The water to the.south of the TAP is colder than that to the north of TAP, and the presence of cold winter water in the south.tends to keep the N2O-rich Weddell Deep Water from upwelling to the surface. CDW, enriched in N2O, was.observed to upwell toward the surface layers resulting in oversaturation and outgassing to the atmosphere in.waters north of TAP. In contrast, waters to the south which were dominated by cold winter water were generally.in equilibrium with the atmosphere.
