Fördermittel

Financial support for this project was provided by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and a grant from the Carlsberg Foundation to CL. XA, XM and JG were funded by the Malaspina expedition 2010 (grant n\u00B0 CSD2008-00077) and HOTMIX (grant n\u00B0 CTM2011-30010-C02-02) projects. TR was supported by the PADOM project (Austrian Science Fund grant n\u00B0 P23221-B11). GH was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) project I486-B09 and by the European Research Council under the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC grant agreement No. 268595 (MEDEA project). We thank A. Gomes and the scientists and technicians on board Malaspina for their help. The British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) is acknowledged for supplying data for this analysis. We also acknowledge the large efforts made by Hugh Ducklow and David L. Kirchman and their teams in generating the data of the US JGFOS program. The data providers at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Study (BATS) and Cariaco Basin Time-Series (CARIACO) are also acknowledged. A part of the Mediterranean data was obtained through the Biosope project funded through CNRS-INSU grants. Murray Logan is thanked for his input on using linear regression in R.
