  abstract = {{O}ceanic islands affect the surrounding oceanic circulation by producing upwelling or vortices, resulting in the rising of a richer and colder subsurface water mass. {T}his process increases primary production and can change some biogeochemical processes, such as carbon chemistry and the biological pump. {T}he aim of this study was to describe the vertical variability of carbon chemistry around {F}ernando de {N}oronha {A}rchipelago ({FNA}) and to verify how the island mass effect ({IME}) can affect carbon distribution. {T}wo transects on opposite sides of the {FNA} were established according to the direction of the central {S}outh {E}quatorial {C}urrent, and samples were collected in {J}uly 2010, {S}eptember 2012 and {J}uly 2014 from the surface down to a depth of 500 m. {T}he results showed strong stratification, with an uplift of the thermohaline structure, which resulted in an increase of chlorophyll-alpha concentration downstream of the island during the 2010 and 2014 cruises. {C}arbon chemistry parameters were strongly correlated with temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen along the water column and did not change between sides of the island in the periods studied. {W}e conclude that the {IME} did not significantly affect carbon chemistry, which was more correlated with thermohaline gradient.},
