Interannual variability in the North Atlantic Ocean carbon sink.

The North Atlantic is believed to represent the largest ocean sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in the Northern Hemisphere, yet little is known about its temporal variability. We report an 18-year time series of upper-ocean inorganic carbon observations from the northwestern subtropical North Atlantic near Bermuda that indicates substantial variability in this sink. We deduce that the carbon ...

Interannual variability of phytoplankton abundances in the North Atlantic

A framework is developed for examining spatial patterns of interannual variability in springtime chlorophyll concentrations as a response to physical changes. A simpli"ed, two-layer bio-physical model reveals regional responses to interannual variability of convective mixing. Vertical mixing can promote productivity in the surface waters through enhanced nutrient supply, but also can retard pro...

Interannual Variability of High-Wind Occurrence over the North Atlantic*

Interannual variability of high-wind occurrence over the North Atlantic is investigated based on observations from the satellite-borne Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I). Despite no wind direction being included, SSM/I data capture major features of high-wind frequency (HWF) quite well. Climatology maps show that HWF is highest in winter and is close to zero in summer. Remarkable interannu...

Variability of the Ocean-atmosphere Fluxes in the North Atlantic

We analyse climate variability in the North Atlantic sea-air fluxes derived from the voluntary observing ship (VOS) data and NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis. An ensemble of VOS climatologies has been produced in by the cross-application of different parameterizations and variable corrections. Interannual to decadal scale variability in both VOS and NCEP/NCAR fluxes is primarily determined by the turbulent...

Predicting multi-year North Atlantic Ocean variability

24 We assess the skill of retrospective multi-year forecasts of North Atlantic ocean 25 characteristics obtained with ocean-atmosphere-sea ice models that are initialized with 26 estimates from the observed ocean state. We show that these multi-model forecasts can 27 skilfully predict surface and subsurface ocean variability with lead times of 2 to 9 years. We 28 focus on assessment of forecast...
