      The increase in atmospheric CO2 is a dual threat to the marine environment: from one side it drives climate change, leading to modifications in water temperature, circulation patterns and stratification intensity; on the ...
    • A model study of the seasonal and long-term North Atlantic surface pCO(2) variability 

      Tjiputra, Jerry; Olsen, Are; Assmann, Karen Margarete; Pfeil, Benjamin; Heinze, Christoph (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-03-05)
      A coupled biogeochemical-physical ocean model is used to study the seasonal and long–term variations of surface pCO2 in the North Atlantic Ocean. The model agrees well with recent underway pCO2 observations from the Surface ...
    • The northern European shelf as an increasing net sink for CO2
