dióxido de carbono, afloramiento costero, intercambios de gas océano-atmósfera, sumideros de carbonoResumen
Durante tres ciclos estacionales se estudió la variabilidad superficial de la fugacidad de CO2 (fCO2) en la plataforma continental gallega, utilizando datos recogidos durante los proyectos DYBAGA y ECO, así como estimaciones de clorofila-a a partir de datos de satélite, y promedios quincenales del índice de afloramiento (Iw’). Los cambios de salinidad controlaron la variabilidad de fCO2 en primavera, mientras que la temperatura lo hizo durante el máximo enfriamiento de Noviembre y máximo calentamiento de Junio. La captación de carbono por la actividad fotosintética, más intensa durante primavera y otoño, enmascaró el incremento superficial de carbono inorgánico durante los episodios de afloramiento, especialmente en primavera. Se observó una correlación significativa, aunque pequeña, entre fCO2 e Iw’ durante el período de afloramiento, mientras que no se encontró ninguna durante el hundimiento. Sólo se encontraron valores de fCO2 superiores a los atmosféricos durante la ruptura de la estratificación estival. Aunque el intercambio de CO2 océano-atmósfera mostró una marcada variabilidad interanual, la plataforma continental gallega fue un sumidero neto de CO2 atmosférico. Los valores encontrados son inferiores a otros publicados anteriormente (~65% menos). Estos cambios interanuales parecen estar influidos por los aportes de agua dulce en la plataforma continental bajo distintas condiciones meteorológicas.
