The Southern Ocean plays a fundamental role in the global carbon cycle, dominating the
oceanic uptake of heat and carbon added by anthropogenic activities and modulating …

Abstract The Southern Ocean serves as the primary gateway through which the
intermediate, deep, and bottom waters of the ocean interact with the surface ocean (and thus …

The Southern Ocean is the primary region for the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide
(CO2) and is, therefore, crucial for Earth's climate. However, the Southern Ocean CO2 flux …

Photosynthetic carbon (C) fixation by phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean (SO) plays a
critical role in regulating air–sea exchange of carbon dioxide and thus global climate. In the …

Abstract We assess the Southern Ocean CO2 uptake (1985–2018) using data sets gathered
in the REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes Project Phase 2. The Southern …

The response of the ocean overturning circulation to global warming remains controversial.
Here, we integrate a multiproxy record from International Ocean Discovery Program Site …

Through biological activity, marine dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is transformed into
different types of biogenic carbon available for export to the ocean interior, including …

Global and regional sources and sinks of carbon across the earth's surface have been
studied extensively using atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) observations and atmospheric …

The enhanced seasonal amplitude of atmospheric CO2 has been viewed so far primarily as
a Northern Hemisphere phenomenon. Yet, analyses of atmospheric CO2 records from 49 …

The Southern Ocean is among the largest contemporary sinks of atmospheric carbon
dioxide on our planet; however, remoteness, harsh weather and other circumstances have …
