Carbon dynamics and CO2 air-sea exchanges in the eutrophied coastal waters of the southern bight of the North Sea: a modelling study
A description of the carbonate system has been incorporated in the MIRO biogeochemical model to investigate the contribution of diatom and Phaeocystis blooms to the seasonal dynamics of air-sea CO2 exchanges in the Eastern Channel and Southern Bight of the North Sea, with focus on the eutrophied Belgian coastal waters. For this application, the model was implemented in a simplified three-box re...
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 کاملMechanisms 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 کاملWhat does chlorophyll variability tell us about export and air-sea CO2 flux variability in the North Atlantic?
[1] The importance of biology to the ocean carbon sink is often quantified in terms of export, the removal of carbon from the ocean surface layer. Satellite images of sea surface chlorophyll indicate variability in biological production, but how these variations affect export and air-sea carbon fluxes is poorly understood. We investigate this in the North Atlantic using an ocean general circula...
متن کاملThe Arctic Ocean marine carbon cycle: evaluation of air-sea CO2 exchanges, ocean acidification impacts and potential feedbacks
At present, although seasonal sea-ice cover mitigates atmosphere-ocean gas exchange, the Arctic Ocean takes up carbon dioxide (CO2) on the order of −66 to −199 Tg C year−1 (1012 g C), contributing 5–14% to the global balance of CO2 sinks and sources. Because of this, the Arctic Ocean has an important influence on the global carbon cycle, with the marine carbon cycle and atmosphere-ocean CO2 exc...
