| The Southern Ocean, where various water masses are formed ( mode, intermediate, deep, and bottom waters), has a high potential to absorb anthropogenic CO(2) ( C ant). However, most data-based and model estimates indicate low C(ant) inventories south of 50 degrees S. In order to investigate this paradox, the distribution of C(ant) is estimated between South Africa and Antarctica ( World Ocean Circulation Experiment ( WOCE) line I6) based on a back-calculation technique previously used in the North Atlantic ( Kortzinger et al., 1998) and adapted here for application in the Southern Ocean. At midlatitudes (30 degrees-50 degrees S), formation and spreading of mode and intermediate waters results in a deep penetration of C(ant) ( down to 2000 m). South of 50... |

| The results of an existing one-dimensional diagnostic model that calculates the fugacity of CO2 (fCO2) in the surface layer of the southern ocean were compared with in situ observations from different ocean sectors and seasons. Our model is based on the translation of monthly variations of constraints fields into surface water fCO2 variations, and was used to assess the CO2 uptake of the southern ocean. In situ observations are useful to verify the model results and were here applied to improve the estimation of the CO2 uptake of the southern ocean south of 50°S. The model reproduces the fCO2 distribution in both Pacific and Indian sectors of the southern ocean satisfactorily, the mean deviation being only 5 matm. This discrepancy requires only a minor... |

| The interannual variations of the carbon dioxide system and air-sea CO(2) fluxes are analyzed in the southwestern Indian Ocean from both in situ (Ocean Indien Service d'Observations cruises in 1998 and 2000) and simulated oceanic CO(2) fugacity f(CO2) dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and nutrients. During austral summer of 1998, the ocean was warmer from 20degreesS to 60degreesS. In the Subtropical Zone (20degreesS-37degreesS), the warming, associated with the subtropical dipole pattern, creates an oceanic CO(2) source around 2 mmol m(-2) d(-1) in January 1998 where all previous observations, included in 2000, indicated that this region was a small sink in summer. In the Sub-Antarctic and Polar Front Zones (37degreesS-50degreesS), the f(CO2)... |
