Ice Fraction

<p>Remoteness and tough conditions have made the Arctic Ocean historically difficult to access; until recently this has resulted in an undersampling of trace gas and gas exchange measurements. The seasonal cycle of sea ice completely transforms the air sea interface and the dynamics of gas exchange. To make estimates of gas exchange in the presence of sea ice, sea ice fraction is frequently used to scale open water gas transfer parametrisations. It remains unclear whether this scaling is appropriate for all sea ice regions. Ship based eddy covariance measurements were made in Hudson Bay during the summer of 2018 from the icebreaker CCGS Amundsen. We will present fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>), heat and momentum and will show how they change around the Hudson Bay polynya under varying sea ice conditions. We will explore how these fluxes change with wind speed and sea ice fraction. As freshwater stratification was encountered during the cruise, we will compare our measurements with other recent eddy covariance flux measurements made from icebreakers and also will compare our turbulent CO<sub>2 </sub>fluxes with bulk fluxes calculated using underway and surface bottle pCO<sub>2</sub> data. </p><p> </p>

O2 Transfer

To clarify the role of O2 stores in the fluctuations in VO2 observed with changing posture, O2 intake (Veo2) and pulmonary capillary O2 transfer (Vpco2) were calculated breath by breath with a box-balloon sprometer and mass spectrometer. Changes in O2 stores of the lungs (O2L) and blood (O2b) were computed assuming metabolic rate (Vco2) constant (O2L = Veo2 - Vpco2; O2b = Vpco2 - Vco2). Measurements were made before, during, and after passive tilt to 60 degrees and on return to recumbency after 10 min erect. From supine to upright O2L increased rapidly and O2b dropped slowly, creating a net deficit in Veo2 of 130 ml in 10 min. Return to supine caused rapid loss in O2L and gain in O2b with a net Veo2 excess of 117 ml. Shifts in O2b were 2.5 times greater but opposite to shifts in O2L. Changes in O2b result from shifts in blood volume and flow more than from changes in cardiac output. Refilling of O2b, matching loss while upright, caused transient hypoxia with significant hyperpnea.

Exercise Induced

Exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH) has been reported in male athletes, particularly during fast-increment treadmill exercise protocols. Recent reports suggest a higher incidence in women. We hypothesized that 1-min incremental (fast) running (R) protocols would result in a lower arterial Po 2 (PaO2 ) than 5-min increment protocols (slow) or cycling exercise (C) and that women would experience greater EIAH than previously reported for men. Arterial blood gases, cardiac output, and metabolic data were obtained in 17 active women [mean maximal O2 uptake (V˙o 2 max) = 51 ml · kg−1 · min−1]. They were studied in random order (C or R), with a fastV˙o 2 max protocol. After recovery, the women performed 5 min of exercise at 30, 60, and 90% ofV˙o 2 max (slow). One week later, the other exercise mode (R or C) was similarly studied. There were no significant differences in V˙o 2 maxbetween R and C. Pulmonary gas exchange was similar at rest, 30%, and 60% of V˙o 2 max. At 90% ofV˙o 2 max, PaO2 was lower during R (mean ± SE = 94 ± 2 Torr) than during C (105 ± 2 Torr, P < 0.0001), as was ventilation (85.2 ± 3.8 vs. 98.2 ± 4.4 l/min btps, P < 0.0001) and cardiac output (19.1 ± 0.6 vs. 21.1 ± 1.0 l/min, P < 0.001). Arterial Pco 2 (32.0 ± 0.5 vs. 30.0 ± 0.6 Torr, P < 0.001) and alveolar-arterial O2 difference (A-aDo 2; 22 ± 2 vs. 16 ± 2 Torr, P < 0.0001) were greater during R. PaO2 and A-aDo 2 were similar between slow and fast. Nadir PaO2 was ≤80 Torr in four women (24%) but only during fast-R. In all subjects, PaO2 atV˙o 2 max was greater than the lower 95% prediction limit calculated from available data in men ( n = 72 C and 38 R) for both R and C. These data suggest intrinsic differences in gas exchange between R and C, due to differences in ventilation and also efficiency of gas exchange. The PaO2 responses to R and C exercise in our 17 subjects do not differ significantly from those previously observed in men.

Ventilation Response

A steady state metabolic alkalosis was induced in two subjects over a period of several days utilizing oral sodium bicarbonate in dosages of 50 g/day. The purpose of inducing steady state metabolic alkalosis was to study the effects of such a state on the respiratory center responses to inspired gas mixtures, containing carbon dioxide, and to contrast these results with the control studies. The experiment was so designed that the arterial pH in both subjects tended to return toward normal in the presence of significant increases in blood bicarbonate. Repeated study of ventilation responses with room air and 4% and 6% carbon dioxide in inspired air revealed a definite and significant decrease in ventilation response to carbon dioxide during the periods of steady state alkalosis as compared to the control periods. Normal responses returned after some time lag. A consistent rise in paCOCO2 occurred with alkalosis, thus demonstrating respiratory compensation. In neither subject was total lung function or gas exchange affected by the alkalosis. The experiment was confirmed on several occasions with reproducible results.
