A seasonal tropical sink for atmospheric CO sub(2) in the Atlantic ocean: the role of the Amazon River discharge

In the western Equatorial Atlantic ocean, near-surface observations show that during summertime, the low-salinity oceanic water, arising from mixing with the Amazon River discharge at the equator, has low CO sub(2) fugacity levels. Near the coast of South America where the salinities are the lowest...
