Monthly variability in surface pCO2 and net air-sea CO2 flux in the Arabian Sea
[1] Recent studies on biogeochemical cycling of carbon in the Arabian Sea, by Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), revealed that the Arabian Sea is a perennial source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The surface pCO2 is governed by physical processes such as water mass transports, upwelling and winter convective mixing, and associated biological processes. Hence surface pCO2 distribution ...
متن کاملTrends in the North Atlantic carbon sink: 1992–2006
[1] A biogeochemical general circulation model is used to assess the impact of climate variability from 1992 to 2006 on air-sea CO2 fluxes and ocean surface pCO2 in the North Atlantic and to understand trends in the North Atlantic carbon sink over this time period. The model indicates that the North Atlantic carbon sink increased from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. Consistent with observations...
متن کاملSea Surface Carbon Dioxide off Iberian Peninsula (east North Atlantic Ocean)
The variability of the carbon dioxide in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean was investigated by studying three seasons with different hydrographical and meteorological conditions that lead to two main different situations: upwelling and downwelling. No correlation between surface pCO2 and chlorophyll was found in spring, although significant correlation was found in autumn when strong downwelling...
متن کاملDrake Passage Oceanic pCO2: Evaluating CMIP5 Coupled Carbon–Climate Models Using in situ Observations
Surface water partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) variations in Drake Passage are examined using decade-long underway shipboardmeasurements. North of the Polar Front (PF), the observed pCO2 shows a seasonal cycle that peaks annually in August and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)–forced variations are significant. Just south of the PF, pCO2 shows a small seasonal cycle that peaks annually in February...
متن کاملDenitrification effects on air-sea CO2 flux in the coastal ocean: Simulations for the northwest North Atlantic
[1] The contribution of coastal oceans to the global air-sea CO2 flux is poorly quantified due to insufficient availability of observations and inherent variability of physical, biological and chemical processes. We present simulated air-sea CO2 fluxes from a high-resolution biogeochemical model for the North American east coast continental shelves, a region characterized by significant sedimen...
متن کاملEstimation of the oceanic pCO2 in the North Atlantic from VOS lines in-situ measurements: parameters needed to generate seasonally mean maps
Automated instruments on board Volunteer Observing Ships (VOS) have provided high-frequency pCO2 measurements over basin-wide regions for a decade or so. In order to estimate regional air-sea CO2 fluxes, it is necessary to interpolate between in-situ measurements to obtain maps of the marine pCO2. Such an interpolation remains, however, a difficult task because VOS lines are too distant from ea...
