ShareSimulated response of the ocean carbon cycle to anthropogenic climate warming.
Author(s) : SARMIENTO J. L., HUGHES T. M. C., STOUFFER R. J., MANABE S.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The authors examine a coupled atmosphere-ocean model of global warming for the period 1765 to 2065. They find a large potential modification to the ocean carbon sink in a vast region of the Southern Ocean where increased rainfall leads to surface freshening and increased stratification. Changes in the formation, transport and cycling of biological material may counteract the reduced uptake.
