In or der to predict future atmospheric CO2 levels and global climate\, we must improve quantification of the ocean carbon pumps\, which sequester CO2 fro m the atmosphere on timescales from years to millennia. In this talk\, I w ill present field data from a quasi-Lagrangian cruise in Monterey Bay\, CA and use it to demonstrate how in situ measurements of dissolved gases can be used to quantify the biological and solubility pumps. In particular\, O2 concentration and isotopic composition are tracers of gross and net pro ductivity. A persistent challenge in quantifying biological productivity f rom O2 measurements is the need to accurately parameterize the physical pr ocesses that also alter O2 concentration and isotopic composition (e.g.\, bubble-mediated gas exchange\, diffusive gas exchange\, and mixing). Measu rements of multiple inert gases\, such as the noble gases\, are used to de velop parameterizations for these physical processes. These parameterizati ons are then applied to bioactive gases such as O2 and CO2\, thereby impro ving estimates of the ocean carbon pumps. Additionally\, I will compare in situ gas tracer methods for quantifying productivity with simultaneous in cubation- and sediment trap-based productivity estimates.
