Abstract Reducing uncertainty in the global carbon budget requires better quantification of ocean CO 2 uptake and its temporal variability. Several methodologies for reconstructing air‐sea exchange from pCO observations indicate larger decadal variability than estimated using models. We develop a new application multiple Large Ensemble Earth system models to assess these reconstructions' ability estimate spatiotemporal With our Testbed, fields 25 ensemble members each four independent are...

Anthropogenically forced changes in ocean biogeochemistry are underway and critical for the carbon sink marine habitat. Detecting such will require quantification of magnitude change (anthropogenic signal) natural variability inherent to climate system (noise). Here we use Large Ensemble (LE) experiments from four Earth models (ESMs) with multiple emissions scenarios estimate Time Emergence (ToE) partition projection uncertainty anthropogenic signals five biogeochemically important...

Abstract Anthropogenic changes in the variability of precipitation stand to impact both natural and human systems profound ways. Precipitation encompasses not only extremes like droughts floods, but also spectrum which populates times between these extremes. Understanding alongside mean extreme is essential unraveling hydrological cycle’s response warming. We use a suite state-of-the-art climate models, with each model consisting single-model initial-condition large ensemble (SMILE),...

Abstract The seasonal cycle is the dominant mode of variability in air‐sea CO 2 flux most regions global ocean, yet discrepancies between different seasonality estimates are rather large.

Abstract Using the Community Earth System Model, we explore role of human land use and cover change (LULCC) in modifying terrestrial carbon budget simulations forced by Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5, extended to year 2300. Overall, conversion (e.g., from forest croplands via deforestation) results a model‐estimated, cumulative loss 490 Pg C between 1850 2300, larger than 230 caused climate over this same interval. The LULCC is combination direct at time an indirect reduction...

Abstract Observations and climate models indicate that changes in the seasonal amplitude of sea surface carbon dioxide partial pressure (A‐ p CO 2 ) are underway driven primarily by anthropogenic (C ant accumulation ocean.

Abstract A positive marine chemistry‐climate feedback was originally proposed by Revelle and Suess (1957, https://doi.org/10.3402/tellusa.v9i1.9075 ), whereby the invasion flux of anthropogenic carbon into ocean serves to inhibit future CO 2 uptake through reductions buffering capacity surface seawater. Here we use an circulation‐carbon cycle model identify upper limit on impact reemergence ocean's mixed layer cumulative airborne fraction in atmosphere. We find under RCP8.5 emissions pathway...

Abstract It is well established that the ocean plays an important role in absorbing anthropogenic carbon C ant from atmosphere. Under global warming, Earth system model simulations and theoretical arguments indicate capacity of to absorb will be reduced, with this constituting a positive carbon–climate feedback. Here we apply suite sensitivity comprehensive demonstrate surface waters shallow overturning structures (spanning 45°S–45°N) sustain nearly half The main results reveal feedback...

Abstract. Earth system models suggest that anthropogenic climate change will influence marine phytoplankton over the coming century with light-limited regions becoming more productive and nutrient-limited less productive. Anthropogenic can not only mean state but also internal variability around state, yet little is known about how in time. Here, we quantify of on biomass from 1920 to 2100 using Community System Model 1 Large Ensemble (CESM1-LE). We find a significant decrease global carbon...

Abstract. Multiple studies conducted with Earth System Models suggest that anthropogenic climate change will influence marine phytoplankton over the coming century. Light limited regions are projected to become more productive and nutrient less productive. Anthropogenic can not only mean state, but also variance around yet little is known about how in time.

Abstract Anthropogenic climate change is affecting marine ecosystems by altering the strength of phytoplankton blooms and driving shifts in seasonality (phenology) productivity. Here, we analyze a new 30-member Large Ensemble projections to quantify sensitivity bloom phenology (initiation, peak timing, net growth period length) anthropogenic forcing. Forced changes duration vary widely across global ocean, with high latitudes experiencing reduction up one month, tropics subtropics an...
