Zusammenfassung |
The spatial distribution of the air-sea flux of carbon dioxide is a poor
indicator of the underlying ocean circulation and of ocean carbon storage.
The weak dependence on circulation arises because mixing-driven changes in
solubility-driven and biologically-driven air-sea fluxes largely cancel out.
This cancellation occurs because mixing driven increases in the poleward
residual mean circulation result in more transport of both remineralized
nutrients and heat from low to high latitudes. By contrast, increasing
vertical mixing decreases the storage associated with both the biological and
solubility pumps, as it decreases remineralized carbon storage in the deep
ocean and warms the ocean as a whole. |
