Annual and interannual variability of nutrients and their estimated fluxes in the Scotian Shelf - Gulf of Maine region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nitrate, silicate, and phosphate observations are used to determine their annual cycles for the Scotian Shelf and the Gulf of Maine. Concentrations increase from fall through winter, decrease rapidly at shallow depths in late winter, and remain at low levels through spring and summer. Deep layers exhibit a weak annual cycle with highest concentrations in summer. Winter nitrate concentrations (depth [Formula: see text] 50 m) are highest on the eastern Scotian Shelf, decreasing southwestwards into the Gulf of Maine. The Gulf of St. Lawrence is the primary source of nitrate (9300 mol· s-1) and silicate (7680 mol·s-1) during winter for the Scotian Shelf; in spring and summer, vertical diffusive fluxes, 1500-1000 mol·s-1 for the central Scotian Shelf, are as large as the horizontal advective ones and can provide the entire nitrate requirement. The 50-m vertical diffusive fluxes of nitrate and silicate vary by a factor of 4 in the Scotian Shelf - Gulf of Maine region. The interannual variability of nitrate and dissolved oxygen on the Scotian Shelf are coupled to water mass changes, with low (high) nitrate and high (low) dissolved oxygen concentrations corresponding to the dominance of Labrador (Warm) Slope water.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
