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. As part Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes Phase project (RECCAP2), we synthesize surface ocean p from models observation‐based estimates, focusing on both a present‐day climatology decadal changes 1980s 2010s. Four main findings emerge: First, biogeochemistry (GOBMs) ( products) disagree...
Abstract In many regions the projected future sea surface temperature (SST) response to greenhouse warming is larger in summer than winter. What causes this amplification of SST seasonal cycle has remained unclear. To determine robustness intensification and ascertain underlying physical mechanisms we analyze a suite historical simulations conducted with 13 coupled general circulation models Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5. Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 scenario,...
Abstract We use several global coupled atmosphere‐ocean‐biogeochemistry models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) to show that interannual variability of sea surface pCO 2 (calculated as 1 σ ) will increase by ∼64 ± 20% 2040–2090 relative beginning industrial revolution under RCP8.5 scenario. All agree in is a consequence larger background and lower buffering capacity enhance response fluctuations temperature (T) dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). The most skillful group...
We use global coupled atmosphere-ocean-biogeochemistry models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), under RCP8.5 scenario, to show that interannual variability of sea surface pCO (calculated as 1σ) could increase by 62 ± 22 % 2090. This amplification is a consequence larger background and lower buffering capacity enhance response temperature (T) dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) changes. The counteracted decrease in sea-surface DIC variability, which will likely cause strong...
