Sea- Ice & Iron

Sea- Ice & Air-Sea Gas exchange

Just a Simple Lid ? Flux = α K (ΔC) (1- γ) γ ΔC = air-sea gas gradient α = solubility factor K = gas transfer velocity Loose et al., 2014

Moving forward K = gas transfer velocity MODEL INPUT PARAMETERS : 1)Wind Speed 2)Air-temperature 3)Sea-Ice velocity 4)Sea-Ice concentration MECHANSIMS TO MODEL OGCM + C-CYLE MODEL OF POLAR OCEANS 1)Buoyancy/Stratification 2)Sea-Ice/Water Shear 3)Gravity Waves/ice floes (Loose et al., 2014)

Still a long way to go… Rysgaard et al. (2011) 1)Brine & CO 2 rejection: Deep water formation process and CO 2 uptake. Two Missing Processes : 2) Sea-ice Decay & ALK release : Enhances CO 2 uptake at sea-ice margin during summer melting

CONCLUSIONS & FUTURE DIRECTIONS Sea-Ice can controls Southern Ocean CO 2 uptake with multiple processes (physics, chemistry, and biology) Where/when/how do we measure in the ocean bgc properties that help to understand processes and variabilty based on the use of multiple tools (in-situ, argo floats, satellites, elephant seals, etc.) ? Best way to integrate Obs. and Models to understand how changes in sea-ice will affect CO 2 uptake in the SO ?
