英文摘要 | The North Atlantic is one of the major sinks for anthropogenic carbon in the global ocean. Improved understanding of the underlying mechanisms is vital for constraining future projections, which presently have high uncertainties. To identify some of the causes behind this uncertainty, this study investigates the North Atlantic's anthropogenically altered carbon uptake and inventory, that is, changes in carbon uptake and inventory due to rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change (abbreviated as Cant*-uptake and Cant*-inventory). Focus is set on an ensemble of 11 Earth system models and their simulations of a future with high atmospheric CO2. Results show that the model spread in the Cant*-uptake originates in middle and high latitudes. Here, the annual cycle of oceanic pCO2 reveals inherent model mechanisms that are responsible for different model behavior: while it is SST-dominated for models with a low future Cant*-uptake, it is dominated by deep winter mixing and biological production for models with a high future Cant*-uptake. Models with a high future Cant*-uptake show an efficient carbon sequestration and hence store a large fraction of their contemporary North Atlantic Cant*-inventory below 1000-m depth, while the opposite is true for models with a low future Cant*-uptake. Constraining the model ensemble with observation-based estimates of carbon sequestration and summer oceanic pCO2 anomalies and yields later flattening of the Cant*-uptake than previously estimated. This result highlights the need to depart from the concept of unconstrained model ensembles in order to reduce uncertainties associated with future projections. |
