A sensitive area in the Arctic Ocean is playing an unexpectedly large role in removing extra nitrogen from the ocean. Nitrogen is critical for living things, but too much of it -- as is the case now, because of fertilizers and other human activity -- can be harmful to life. In the first study of its kind in the Arctic, scientists found that the bacteria that remove nitrogen here are responsible for about 5 percent of the world's nitrogen removal in oceans; earlier estimates had been that the figure was closer to 1 percent.

A sharp Arctic cold front will sweep through Northeastern Ontario through this morning. This front is capable of producing short bursts of heavy snow and blowing snow which could reduce visibilities to near zero. A couple of cm of snow may also quickly accumulate with bursts of heavy snow. Currently the front lies from near Timmins to Sault Ste Marie and it will pass through North Bay late this morning. Motorists planning to travel in these regions should be prepared for dangerous winter driving conditions.
