Abstract. Western boundary currents act as transport pathways for
nutrient-rich waters from low to high latitudes (nutrient streams) and are
responsible for maintaining midlatitude and high-latitude productivity in the North
Atlantic and North Pacific. This study investigates the centennial oxygen
(O2) and nutrient changes over the Northern Hemisphere in the context
of the projected warming and general weakening of the Atlantic Meridional
Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in a subset of Earth system models included
in the CMIP5 catalogue. In all models examined, the Atlantic warms faster
than the Pacific Ocean, resulting in a greater basin-scale solubility
decrease. However, this thermodynamic tendency is compensated by changes in
the biologically driven O2 consumption which dominates the overall
O2 budget. These changes are linked to the slowdown of the nutrient
stream in this basin, in response to the AMOC weakening. The North Atlantic
resists the warming-induced deoxygenation due to the weakened biological
carbon export and remineralization, leading to higher O2 levels. Conversely, the projected nutrient stream and macronutrient inventory in the
North Pacific remain nearly unchanged.
