Effects of plankton dynamics on seasonal carbon fluxes in an ocean general circulation model

Open access

Abstract

We discuss the effect of embedding a simple plankton model in the Hamburg model of the oceanic carbon cycle (HAMOCC3) [Maier‐Reimer, 1993]. The plankton model consists of five components: phytoplankton, zooplankton, detritus, dissolved organic carbon, and nutrients. Interactions between compartments are described by one global set of parameters. Despite its simplicity the plankton model reproduces regional differences in seasonal oceanic p CO 2 and improves the biogeochemical tracer distributions at the depth of the oxygen minimum in the Pacific Ocean. The predicted seasonal turnover of organic material is consistent with recent atmospheric O 2 measurements in the remote areas of the Southern Ocean.

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.
