Resumen
Kongsfjorden nitrogen budget is dominated by exchanges of nitrate with the sea. The fjord is a nitrogen and carbon sink during summer. The C:N molar ratio of the Source-Sink term is 7.3, which is close to the expected Redfield ratio (6.6). Negative nutrient and carbon sink indicate autotrophic metabolism.
