The results revealed a subsurface N* minimum (<−10 μmol/kg), indicating a large nitrate deficit in the upper halocline water of the basin. The interannual change of N* from 2005 to 2008 demonstrates the increase in the nitrate deficit. The subsurface low-N* waters are expanding, especially in the southern Canada Basin (75°–80°N). The thickening distribution of Pacific water is primarily responsible for the expansion of the nitrate deficit in the basin.}, pages = {224--227}, title = {Observation of nitrate deficit along transects across the Canada Basin after major sea-ice loss}, volume = {21}, year = {2019} }
