| A coupled biogeochemical-physical ocean model is used to study the seasonal and long-term variations of surface pCO(2) in the North Atlantic Ocean. The model agrees well with recent underway pCO(2) observations from the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) in various locations in the North Atlantic. Some of the distinct seasonal cycles observed in different parts of the North Atlantic are well reproduced by the model. In most regions except the subpolar domain, recent observed trends in pCO(2) and air-sea carbon fluxes are also simulated by the model. Over the longer period between 1960-2008, the primary mode of surface pCO(2) variability is dominated by the increasing trend associated with the invasion of anthropogenic CO2 into the ocean. We show that the... |
