<p>Understanding the variability and drivers of air-sea CO<span><sub>2</sub></span> fluxes on seasonal timescales is critical for resolving the ocean carbon sink's evolution and variability. Here, we investigate whether discrepancies in the representation of air-sea CO<span><sub>2</sub></span> fluxes on a seasonal timescale accumulate to influence the representation of CO<span><sub>2</sub></span> fluxes on an interannual timescale in two important ocean CO<span><sub>2 </sub></span>sink regions – the North Atlantic basin and the Southern Ocean. Using an observation-based product (SOM-FFN) as a reference, we investigate the representation of air-sea CO<span><sub>2</sub></span> fluxes in the Max Planck Institute's Earth System Model Grand Ensemble (MPI-ESM GE). Additionally, we include a simulation based on the same model configuration, where observational data from the atmosphere and ocean components is assimilated (EnKF assimilation) to verify if the inclusion of observational data alters the model state significantly and if the updated modelled CO<span><sub>2 </sub></span>flux values better represent observations.</p><p>We find agreement between all three observation-based and model products on an interannual timescale for the North Atlantic basin. However, the agreement on a seasonal timescale is inconsistent with discrepancies as large as 0.26 PgC/yr in boreal autumn in the North Atlantic. In the Southern Ocean, we find little agreement between the three products on an interannual basis with significant seasonal discrepancies as large as 1.71 PgC/yr in austral winter. However, while we identify regional patterns of dominating seasonal variability in MPI-GE and EnKF, we find that the SOM-FFN cannot demonstrate robust conclusions on the relevance of seasonal variability in the Southern Ocean. In turn, we cannot pin down the problems for this region.</p>

In offering a few remarks on a subject which belongs, in the first instance, to the province of physical geography, it will be necessary forme to point out certain hydrographical details, whilst, endeavouring to deduce from these details conclusions having a geological bearing. Oceanography is almost a science in itself, especially if we regard it from a geological point of view, as something more than a mere description of water-spaces and soundings. Ever since the days when the deep oceans were first explored for the purpose of laying the telegraph cables some of the leading facts were made known, and have since become familiar to all students of physical geography.

The delay of several months, in replying to Mr. Hudleston's communication relative to the above-named subject, has been due to absence in the field in a distant region, where I was not in touch with the current literature.

Nd Isotopic Composition

Abstract. Boundary Exchange (BE – exchange of elements between continental margins and the open ocean) has been emphasized as a key process in the oceanic cycle of neodymium (Nd) (Lacan and Jeandel, 2005a). Here, we use a regional eddy-permitting resolution Ocean General Circulation Model (1/4°) of the North Atlantic basin to simulate the distribution of the Nd isotopic composition, considering BE as the only source. Results show good agreement with the data, confirming previous results obtained using the same parameterization of the source in a coarse resolution global model (Arsouze et al., 2007), and therefore the major control played by the BE processes in the Nd cycle on the regional scale. We quantified the exchange rate of the BE, and found that the time needed for the continental margins to significantly imprint the chemical composition of the surrounding seawater (further referred as characteristic exchange time) is of the order of 0.2 years. However, the timescale of the BE may be subject to large variations as a very short exchange time (a few days) is needed to reproduce the highly negative values of surface waters in the Labrador Sea, whereas a longer one (up to 0.5 years) is required to simulate the radiogenic influence of basaltic margins and distinguish the negative isotopic signatures of North Atlantic Deep Water from the more radiogenic southern origin water masses. This likely represents geographical variations in erosion fluxes and the subsequent particle load onto the continental margins. Although the parameterization of the BE is the same in both configurations of the model, the characteristic exchange time in the eddy-permitting configuration is significantly lower than the previous evaluations using a low resolution configuration (6 months to 10 years), but however in agreement with the available seawater Nd isotope data. This results highlights the importance of the model dynamics in simulating the BE process.
