Mechanisms of air-sea CO2 flux variability in the equatorial Pacific and the North Atlantic
[1] A global ocean general circulation model is used to estimate the magnitude of interannual variability in air-sea fluxes of CO2 and O2 from 1980–1998 and to examine the controlling mechanisms. The global variability in the air-sea flux of carbon (±0.5 10 grams Carbon yr 1 (PgC yr )) is forced by changes of DpCO2 and wind speeds related to the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle in the ...
متن کاملForecasting Ocean Chlorophyll in the Equatorial Pacific
Using a global ocean biogeochemical model combined with a forecast of physical oceanic and atmospheric variables from the NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office, we assess the skill of a chlorophyll concentrations forecast in the Equatorial Pacific for the period 2012-2015 with a focus on the forecast of the onset of the 2015 El Niño event. Using a series of retrospective 9-month hindcast...
متن کاملA near-annual coupled ocean-atmosphere mode in the equatorial Pacific ocean
[1] A near-annual coupled ocean-atmosphere mode in the equatorial Pacific is studied using the NCEP ocean assimilation data set. This fast mode of tropical Pacific climate variability is superimposed on the slow 3–5 year El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. Anomalous zonal advection plays a crucial role in generating this fast mode. It is suggested that this fast mode can be understo...
متن کاملRain impacts on CO2 exchange in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean
[1] The ocean plays a major role in the global carbon cycle through the atmosphere‐ocean partitioning of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Rain alters the physics and carbon chemistry at the ocean surface to increase the amount of CO2 taken up by the ocean. This paper presents the results of a preliminary study wherein rain measurements in the western equatorial Pacific are used to determine the enha...
متن کاملDeglacial changes in dust flux in the eastern equatorial Pacific
Atmospheric dust levels may play important roles in feedbacks linking continental source areas, tropical convection, marine productivity, and global climate. These feedbacks appear to be particularly significant in the tropical Pacific, where variations in local convection and productivity have been demonstrated to have impacts on climate at higher latitudes. Modeling of past dust levels and re...
