| The authors assess the uptake, transport, and storage of oceanic anthropogenic carbon and heat over the period 1861-2005 in a new set of coupled carbon-climate Earth system models conducted for the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), with a particular focus on the Southern Ocean. Simulations show that the Southern Ocean south of 30 degrees S, occupying 30% of global surface ocean area, accounts for 43% 63% (42 + 5 PgC) of anthropogenic CO2 and 75% 622% (23 + 9 x 10(22) J) of heat uptake by the ocean over the historical period. Northward transport out of the Southern Ocean is vigorous, reducing the storage to 33 +/- 6 Pg anthropogenic carbon and 12 +/- 7 x 10(22) J heat in the region. The CMIP5 models, as a class, tend to... |
