Simulation of modern and middle Cretaceous marine δ18O with an ocean‐atmosphere general circulation model
Open accessAbstract
We have developed a coupled ocean‐atmosphere general circulation model, the GENESIS‐MOM model, with the ability to transport and fractionate water isotopes in the ocean and atmosphere. The model is used to predict modern and Cretaceous precipitation and seawater δ18 O. The model reproduces the large‐scale modern‐day isotopic distribution. In the zonal mean, the difference between simulated and observed seawater δ18 O is within 0.2‰ in the low and middle latitudes and within 1‰ at high latitudes. In comparison to modern, simulated Cretaceous surface seawater δ18 O is systematically depleted by 0.3‰ at low and middle latitudes. These differences are attributed to equilibrium fractionation during surface evaporation at low latitudes and an increased partitioning of 18 O from the surface into the deep ocean due to intermediate and deep water formation in subtropical basins in the Cretaceous. We also find that regional seawater δ18 O is significantly influenced by the paleobathymetry and the resolution of oceanic gateways, boundary conditions that are not well known for the past. Our simulation of Cretaceous seawater δ18 O has major implications for oxygen isotope paleothermometry. We conclude that conventional assumptions of past seawater δ18 O may lead to an overestimate of Cretaceous sea‐surface temperatures, especially at middle and high latitudes.

In the citing paper
“GCM models for the Mesozoic return a large spread from very light values (e.g. as low as -7 ‰) for the semi-enclosed Boreal Ocean, and relatively heavy values (e.g. 0 to 0.5 ‰) for the Tethys ocean in an ice-free world (Zhou et al., 2008, Cretaceous simulation).”

“For a greenhouse Earth, with global average δ 18 Osw of -1 ‰ (Shackleton and Kennett, 1975), this high value is even more unlikely in any ocean-connected basin (e.g. Zhou et al., 2008)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
