The variable Southern Ocean carbon sink
The CO2 uptake by the Southern Ocean (< 35° S) varies substantially on all timescales and
is a major determinant of the variations of the global ocean carbon sink. Particularly strong …

Ventilation of the Southern Ocean pycnocline
Ocean ventilation is the transfer of tracers and young water from the surface down into the
ocean interior. The tracers that can be transported to depth include anthropogenic heat and …

Importance of wind and meltwater for observed chemical and physical changes in the Southern Ocean
Abstract The Southern Ocean south of 30° S represents only one-third of the total ocean
area, yet absorbs half of the total ocean anthropogenic carbon and over two-thirds of ocean …

Unsupervised clustering of Southern Ocean Argo float temperature profiles
Abstract The Southern Ocean has complex spatial variability, characterized by sharp fronts,
steeply tilted isopycnals, and deep seasonal mixed layers. Methods of defining Southern …

Impact of idealized future stratospheric aerosol injection on the large‐scale ocean and land carbon cycles
Using an Earth system model, we simulate stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) on top of the
Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 future scenario. Our idealized method …
