Assessment of Temporal Variability in Global Inorganic Carbon Distributions

来自普林斯顿大学和百慕大生物站的研究人员将综合来自美国联合全球海洋通量研究（U.S.JGOFS）、世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）和其他项目的无机碳数据，综合成一幅全球海洋表层无机碳分布的综合图，包括人为二氧化碳。 过去也曾进行过类似的尝试，但这将是第一次将高精度的碳系统测量结果结合在一起，以便对二氧化碳的海-气交换进行逼真的建模。 由此产生的映射预计将是有用的时变区域和全球碳酸盐岩系统参数的模型的发展。

ABSTRACTOCE-9819977 / OCE-9903393Investigators from Princeton University and the Bermuda Biological Station will synthesize the inorganic carbon data from the U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (U.S.JGOFS), the World ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), and other projects into a comprehensive picture of the global inorganic carbon distribution in the surface ocean, including anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Similar attempts have been made in the past, but this will be the first time that high-precision carbon system measurements will be brought together to permit a realistic modeling of the sea-air exchange of carbon dioxide. The resulting mappings are expected to be useful for the development of models of time-varying regional and global carbonate system parameters.
