Atmospheric CO2 Exchange With the Biosphere and the Ocean
We model the exchange of carbon between the different reservoirs (atmosphere, ocean mixed layer, deep ocean and biosphere). The influence of the biosphere is investigated using two extreme assumptions: 1) no net biospheric effect and 2) biospheric uptake of CO 2 proportional to the atmospheric conte...

Summary: | We model the exchange of carbon between the different reservoirs (atmosphere, ocean mixed layer, deep ocean and biosphere). The influence of the biosphere is investigated using two extreme assumptions: 1) no net biospheric effect and 2) biospheric uptake of CO 2 proportional to the atmospheric content of CO 2 and time-dependent deforestation. Observations of atmospheric CO 2 at Mauna Loa and the South Pole may be fit by both these assumptions. |
