11 pages, 4 figures. The anthropogenic CO2 (C-ant) estimates from cruises spanning more than two decades (1981–2006) in the Irminger Sea area of the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre reveal a large variability in the C-ant storage rates. During the early 1990’s, the C-ant storage rates (2.3 ± 0.6 mol C m...
