Pore water profiles seasonal changes

There are some minor but important differences between the profiles of the three pore-water constituents at NWC. Structure in the alkalinity profile is small because the values are very close to seawater in magnitude, nevertheless the seasonal pattern described is evident. Ammonia most clearly follows the seasonal pattern of change. Concentration max-... 

FOAM follows the same general time sequence and pattern of change in pore-water concentration profiles as NWC, but with several important differences (Figs. 19, 22, and 25). The high pore-water concentrations at FOAM allow alkalinity to more clearly reflect seasonal patterns. These...
