Atmospheric carbon dioxide in a less dusty world
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] The availability of iron exerts a significant control on primary production and the export of organic matter over large areas of the ocean, especially those far from land sources. We explore the regulation of the global soft tissue pump of carbon and atmospheric CO2 by the atmospheric delivery of iron in a three-dimensional ocean circulation and biogeochemistry model. There is only a small change in atmospheric CO2 when the aeolian iron source is increased several fold but a significant increase in response to a reduction in the aeolian iron source. This strong asymmetry suggests a positive feedback, amplifying an increase in atmospheric CO2 if a warmer world is also less dusty. Citation: Parekh, P., S. Dutkiewicz, M. J. Follows, and T.

An effective and ecofriendly suggestion to decrease atmospheric carbon dioxide by using NH3 gas
Global warming is increasing permanently, because the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is rising continuously. According to National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere was 407 ppm in June 2016 and 413 ppm in April 2017 as a last record for now. If the effects of other greenhouse gases, such as CH4, N<su...
متن کاملA less dusty future?
[1] Atmospheric desert dust is potentially highly sensitive to changes in climate, carbon dioxide and human land use. In this study we use 6 different scenarios of the processes responsible for changes in source areas and explore changes in desert dust loading in pre-industrial and future climates, although all the scenario results are likely to be sensitive to the climate model simulations use...
متن کاملSelective Formation of Trimethylene Carbonate (TMC): Atmospheric Pressure Carbon Dioxide Utilization
Carbon dioxide utilisation (CDU) is currently gaining increased interest due to the abundance of CO2 and its possible application as a C1 building block. We herein report the first example of atmospheric pressure carbon dioxide incorporation into oxetane to selectively form trimethylene carbonate (TMC), which is a significant challenge as TMC is thermodynamically less favoured than its correspo...

Due to the potentiality of the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide and its permanent nature, the actual amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the accumulation of effective per capita carbon dioxide and the accumulation of effective per capita of this pollutant in the steady state has been estimated estimated through Kalman filter approach in a Ramsey equilibrium model over the peri...

The monthly mean values of the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration derived from in-situ air samples collected at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, during 1958– 2004 (the longest continuous record available in the world) are analyzed by employing the detrended fluctuation analysis to detect scaling behavior in this time series. 5 The main result is that the fluctuations of carbon dioxide conce...
