Carbon uptake and biogeochemical change in the Southern Ocean, south of Tasmania Paula C. Pardo, Bronte Tilbrook, Clothilde Langlais, Tom W. Trull, and Steve R. Rintoul Biogeosciences Discuss., https//doi.org/10.5194/bg-2017-213,2017 Manuscript under review for BG (discussion: open, 0 comments) The carbon content of the water masses of the Southern Ocean, South of Tasmania has increased over the period 1995–2011, leading to a general decrease of pH. The long-term change in the carbon system is mainly affected by the ocean circulation and atmospheric features. The winds play an important role in the biogeochemical changes of upper to intermediate layers of the ocean while the ocean circulation conditions the long-term changes in deep waters.
