 Apply different methodologies to a common and recent dataset, including new data from the Arctic Ocean  Extend previous comparisons adding new methods applied at a large scale  Compare the results from five data-based methods when used to quantify the regional Anthropogenic CO 2 (C ant )  Evaluate the impact of these estimates at a inventory level AIMS OF THE STUDY

C ant ESTIMATION METHODS APPLIED  CFC-shortcut [Thomas and Ittekot, 2001]  TTD [Waugh et al., 2004, 2006]  TrOCA [Touratier et al., 2004, 2006]  IPSL [Lo Monaco et al., 2005]  φC T º [Vázquez-Rodríguez et al., 2006 submitted]  Results in Lee et al. (2003) using the ∆C* method [Gruber et al., 1996] have also been included for comparison.

 The latitudinal variability of the inventory trends are very similar for all five methods compared, and matches that in Lee et al. (2003) EXCEPT for the Southern Ocean (-5 Pg C lower on average).  Inventories of the θ>5 ºC layer are very similar (22-25 Pg C) but for the IPSL results (30 Pg C).  Inventories of the θ<5 ºC layer vary from 25 Pg C (TrOCA) to 36 Pg C (IPSL).  At a REGIONAL level: TTD yields the lowest inventory estimates (about -5 Pg C) for the North Atlantic equatorial and subtropical regions, mainly in the DWBC influence areas. Here, it seems to overestimate the mixing vs. advection of CFCs. TrOCA yields the lowest inventory estimates (average -4 Pg C) for the South Atlantic. φC T º tends to produce low values in the Nordic Seas. CONCLUSIONS
