Model vs. observations: A16N Simulated and observed decadal variability are of similar order Internal variability of a specific year is up to 20 μmol/kg Observed O 2 -decrease from 1993 and 2003 is 30 μmol/kg Simulated internal varia- bility is up to 45 μmol/kg Impact of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption is negligible Johnson et al. (2007) Introduction Methods Results Caveats/closing thoughts The present ocean The future ocean Long-term changes Frölicher et al. (2009, GBC)

Large local O 2 -decrease in thermocline of the North Pacific and the Southern Ocean (due to reduced air-sea gas exchange and reduced ventilation, partly compensated by biological processes) O 2 -decrease in deep North Atlantic (more efficient PO 4 utilization due to lower ventilation) O 2 -increase in tropical thermocline (large decrea- se in export production, possibly reduction in water mass ages) Regional maximum O 2 decrease/increase Depth Frölicher et al. (2009, GBC) Introduction Methods Results Caveats/closing thoughts The present ocean The future ocean Long-term changes

Global decrease in dissolved oxygen Total O 2 content is projected to decrease by 5.9 Pmol (2.6%) by year Solubility-driven changes are responsible for at least 50% of the total decrease.
