1. Surface ocean systems VOS line data (continious measurements) 2. Interior ocean carbon storage Repeated section 75 N (discrete measurements) 3. Carbon cycle climate sensitivities and feedbacks Mesocosm experiments (experimental data) Contributions to SOLAS science WG by WG:
Current VOS Lines (VOS = Volunteer Observing Ships) Total: 28 G.O. Sars Data Barents Sea, Nordic Seas, North Atlantic Station M
Data from discrete measurements Repeated section 75 North
Mesocosm experiments: Elevated CO 2 /pH changes and Carbon cycling/ecosystem responses
Heinze, C., 2004, Simulating oceanic CaCO 3 export production in the greenhouse, Geophysical Research Letters, 31, L16308 acidification feedbacks, A1B scenario: less CaCO 3 production ca. -20 ppm and less particle ballast ca. +20 ppm compensate each other POTENTIAL LIMIT? CaCO 3 export production Data from Model output ballast effect
Data and parameters
VOS line and other underway data Data holdings from: Nuka Arctica, Trans Carrier and Norcliff VOS line Plus additional underway measurements from various cruises (continious from R/V GO SARS) Typical parameters:
Data from discrete measurements (bottle data) Repeated section 75 N Typical parameters Temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, TCO2, TALK, pH, CFC, SF6
Mesocosm experiment data Various parameters (chemical, biological data)
All data… is archived in a World Data Center is archived according to international agreements (agreement fromTsukuba 2004 (for carbon data), WOCE standards, etc) is available via the dataportal
