| Description: |
In this study scientists applied a methodology that tracks the carbon flux of each Southern Ocean water mass in response to climate change. They used a global marine biogeochemical model coupled to a climate model making 140-year CMIP5-type simulations where atmospheric CO2 increased by 1% per year to 4-times the preindustrial concentration (4xCO2). Impacts of atmospheric CO2 (carbon-induced sensitivity) and climate change (climate-induced sensitivity) on the water mass carbon fluxes have been isolated using two sensitivity simulations.
