Inorganic carbon dynamics and air-ice-sea CO2 fluxes in the open and coastal waters of the Southern Ocean

B Delille - 2006 - orbi.uliege.be
Despite the fact that the Southern Ocean (SO) is a high nutrients-low chlorophyll area
(HNLC), it acts as a significant sink for atmospheric CO2. We addressed the temporal and …

Summertime CO2 sinks in shelf and slope waters of the western Arctic Ocean

A Murata, T Takizawa - Continental Shelf Research, 2003 - Elsevier
To evaluate summertime sinks for atmospheric CO2 in shelf and slope waters of the western
Arctic Ocean, we measured atmospheric and surface water partial pressures of CO2 (pCO2) …

Predicting the variable ocean carbon sink

H Li, T Ilyina, WA Müller, P Landschützer - Science advances, 2019 - science.org
Strong decadal variations in the oceanic uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) observed over the
past three decades challenge our ability to predict the strength of the ocean carbon sink. By …

Winter carbon dioxide effluxes from Arctic ecosystems: An overview and comparison of methodologies

MP Björkman, E Morgner, EJ Cooper… - Global …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The winter CO2 efflux from subnivean environments is an important component of annual C
budgets in Arctic ecosystems and consequently makes prediction and estimations of winter …

Carbon export fluxes and export efficiency in the central Arctic during the record sea‐ice minimum in 2012: a joint 234Th/238U and 210Po/210Pb study

M Roca‐Martí, V Puigcorbé… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The Arctic sea‐ice extent reached a record minimum in September 2012. Sea‐ice decline
increases the absorption of solar energy in the Arctic Ocean, affecting primary production …

Relative impact of sea ice and temperature changes on Arctic marine production

G Gibson, W Weijer, N Jeffery… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We use a modern Earth system model to approximate the relative importance of ice versus
temperature on Arctic marine ecosystem dynamics. We show that while the model …

Carbon biogeochemistry of the western Arctic: Primary production, carbon export and the controls on ocean acidification

JT Mathis, JM Grebmeier, DA Hansell… - The Pacific Arctic …, 2014 - Springer
Abstract The Arctic Ocean is an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) with a
recent estimate suggesting that the region accounts for as much as 15% of the global uptake …

Atmospheric CO2 and Sea Surface Temperature Variability Cannot Explain Recent Decadal Variability of the Ocean CO2 Sink

T DeVries - Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The ocean is one of the most important sinks for anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Here, I use
an ocean circulation inverse model (OCIM), ocean biogeochemical models, and pCO2 …

A growing oceanic carbon uptake: Results from an inversion study of surface pCO2 data

JD Majkut, JL Sarmiento… - Global biogeochemical …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Concerted community efforts have been devoted to producing an authoritative climatology of
air‐sea CO2 fluxes, but identifying decadal trends in CO2 fluxes has proven to be more …

The Southern Ocean as a constraint to reduce uncertainty in future ocean carbon sinks

A Kessler, J Tjiputra - Earth System Dynamics, 2016 - esd.copernicus.org
Earth system model (ESM) simulations exhibit large biases compares to observation-based
estimates of the present ocean CO 2 sink. The inter-model spread in projections increases …
