The Southern Ocean’s Role in Carbon Exchange During the Last Deglaciation
Abstract
A Drop in the Ocean: The concentration of atmospheric CO 2 rose by ∼80 parts per million (ppm), from ∼190 to 270 ppm, during the last deglaciation. It is widely believed that the primary source of that CO 2 was the deep Southern Ocean. Burke and Robinson (p. 557 , published online 15 December) present a 25,000-year-long record of the radiocarbon content of deep-sea corals collected from the Southern Ocean, which shows evidence of the 14 C-depletion that must have accompanied CO 2 sequestration. 14 C depletion and ocean stratification ended between 15,000 and 14,000 years ago, in a manner consistent with the transfer of large amounts of CO 2 from the deep Southern Ocean to the atmosphere. The observed 14 C drop can explain the atmospheric CO 2 rise between 17,500 and 14,500 years ago, adding support to the existing model of deglacial CO 2 dynamics.

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.
