    Description: [1]  Ocean carbon uptake substantially reduces the rate of anthropogenic carbon accumulation in the atmosphere, and thus slows global climate change. In the interest of understanding how this ocean carbon sink has responded to climate variability and climate change in recent decades, trends in globally observed surface ocean partial pressure of CO 2 (pCO 2 s.ocean ) are evaluated over sixteen gyre-scale biomes covering the globe. Trends from decadal to multidecadal timescales between 1981–2010 are considered. On decadal timescales, pCO 2 s.ocean trends have been of variable magnitude and sensitive to the chosen start and end years. On longer timeframes, several regions of the tropics and subtropics display pCO 2 s.ocean trends that are parallel to or shallower than trends in atmospheric pCO 2 , consistent with the ocean's long-term response to carbon accumulation in the atmosphere, and with the supply of waters with low anthropogenic carbon from the deep ocean. Data is too sparse in the high latitudes to determine this long-term response. In many biomes, pCO2 s.ocean trends steeper than atmospheric do occur on shorter timescales, which is consistent with forcing by climactic variability. In the Southern Ocean, the influence of a positive trend in the Southern Annular Mode has waned and the carbon sink has strengthened since the early 2000s. In North Atlantic subtropical and equatorial biomes, warming has become a significant and persistent contributor to the observed increase in pCO2 s.ocean since the mid-2000s. This long-term warming, previously attributed to both multi-decadal climate variability and anthropogenic forcing, is beginning to reduce ocean carbon uptake.

    Description: The ocean has absorbed 41 per cent of all anthropogenic carbon emitted as a result of fossil fuel burning and cement manufacture. The magnitude and the large-scale distribution of the ocean carbon sink is well quantified for recent decades. In contrast, temporal changes in the oceanic carbon sink remain poorly understood. It has proved difficult to distinguish between air-to-sea carbon flux trends that are due to anthropogenic climate change and those due to internal climate variability. Here we use a modelling approach that allows for this separation, revealing how the ocean carbon sink may be expected to change throughout this century in different oceanic regions. Our findings suggest that, owing to large internal climate variability, it is unlikely that changes in the rate of anthropogenic carbon uptake can be directly observed in most oceanic regions at present, but that this may become possible between 2020 and 2050 in some regions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McKinley, Galen A -- Pilcher, Darren J -- Fay, Amanda R -- Lindsay, Keith -- Long, Matthew C -- Lovenduski, Nicole S -- England -- Nature. 2016 Feb 25;530(7591):469-72. doi: 10.1038/nature16958.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, USA. ; Center for Climatic Research, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, USA. ; Space Science and Engineering Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, USA. ; NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, Seattle, Washington, USA. ; National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado, USA. ; Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26911782" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The Southern Ocean (SO) carbon sink has strengthened substantially since the year 2000, following a decade of a weakening trend. However, the surface ocean p CO 2 data underlying this trend reversal are sparse, requiring a substantial amount of extrapolation to map the data. Here, we use 9 different p CO 2 mapping products to investigate the SO trends and their sensitivity to the mapping procedure. We find a robust temporal coherence for the entire SO, with 8 of the 9 products agreeing on the sign of the decadal trends, i.e., a weakening CO 2 sink trend in the in the 1990s (on average 0.22±0.24 Pg C yr −1 decade −1 ), and a strengthening sink trend during the 2000s (-0.35±0.23 Pg C yr −1 decade −1 ). Spatially, the multi-product mean reveals rather uniform trends, but the confidence is limited, given the small number of statistically significant trends from the individual products, particularly during the data sparse 1990-1999 period.

    Description: The Atlantic and Arctic Oceans are critical components of the global carbon cycle. Here we quantify the net sea–air CO2 flux, for the first time, across different methodologies for consistent time and space scales for the Atlantic and Arctic basins. We present the long-term mean, seasonal cycle, interannual variability and trends in sea–air CO2 flux for the period 1990 to 2009, and assign an uncertainty to each. We use regional cuts from global observations and modeling products, specifically a pCO2-based CO2 flux climatology, flux estimates from the inversion of oceanic and atmospheric data, and results from six ocean biogeochemical models. Additionally, we use basin-wide flux estimates from surface ocean pCO2 observations based on two distinct methodologies. Our estimate of the contemporary sea–air flux of CO2 (sum of anthropogenic and natural components) by the Atlantic between 40° S and 79° N is −0.49 ± 0.05 Pg C yr−1, and by the Arctic it is −0.12 ± 0.06 Pg C yr−1, leading to a combined sea–air flux of −0.61 ± 0.06 Pg C yr−1 for the two decades (negative reflects ocean uptake). We do find broad agreement amongst methodologies with respect to the seasonal cycle in the subtropics of both hemispheres, but not elsewhere. Agreement with respect to detailed signals of interannual variability is poor, and correlations to the North Atlantic Oscillation are weaker in the North Atlantic and Arctic than in the equatorial region and southern subtropics. Linear trends for 1995 to 2009 indicate increased uptake and generally correspond between methodologies in the North Atlantic, but there is disagreement amongst methodologies in the equatorial region and southern subtropics.

    Description: Large-scale studies of ocean biogeochemistry and carbon cycling have often partitioned the ocean into regions along lines of latitude and longitude despite the fact that spatially more complex boundaries would be closer to the true biogeography of the ocean. Herein, we define 17 open-ocean biomes classified from four observational data sets: sea surface temperature (SST), spring/summer chlorophyll a concentrations (Chl a), ice fraction, and maximum mixed layer depth (maxMLD) on a 1° × 1° grid (available at doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.828650). By considering interannual variability for each input, we create dynamic ocean biome boundaries that shift annually between 1998 and 2010. Additionally we create a core biome map, which includes only the grid cells that do not change biome assignment across the 13 years of the time-varying biomes. These biomes can be used in future studies to distinguish large-scale ocean regions based on biogeochemical function.

Herein, we define 17 open-ocean biomes defined by environmental envelopes incorporating 4 criteria: sea surface temperature (SST), spring/summer chlorophyll a concentrations (Chl), ice fraction, and maximum mixed layer depth (maxMLD) on a one-by-one degree grid (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.828650). By considering interannual variability for each input, we create dynamic ocean biome boundaries that shift annually between 1998 and 2010. Additionally we create a core biome map, which includes only the gridcells that do not change biome assignment across the 13 years of the time-varying biomes.
