MOTIVATION How will polar fresh water input by integrated changes in surface circulation, continental ice sheets, and enhanced precipitation affect the thermohaline circulation on decadal-to-centennial time scales? How may these changes in the ocean circulation affect carbon uptake in the ocean and on land?

Control simulation CO 2 concentration increased from preindustrial (280 ppm) to 2 x, 3 x, or 4 x pre-industrial concentration with an increase of 1% per year 3x and 4x CO 2 simulation where atmospheric radiation is calculated with a pCO 2 of 280 ppm (NO_FEED) Simulations where freshwater input from ice sheet is not considered (NOICE) Publication: Winguth et al., GRL, accepted.

Change in carbon uptake

Conclusions In 1000-year future climate simulations changes of freshwater input by ice sheets are significantly smaller than changes by precipitation. Overall, consideration of both marine and terrestrial carbon cycle feedbacks with climate significantly affects the CO 2 radiative forcing due to a total decrease in the carbon uptake by ~24-28%.
