Reconstructing ocean carbon storage with CMIP6 Earth system models and synthetic Argo observations
Abstract 2 result in optimal solutions that reflect the controls of undersaturation, solubility, and alkalinity. Out-of-sample reconstructions of the top 100 m show that, in most regions, the trend in ocean carbon and over 60 % of detrended variability can be reconstructed using local temperature and salinity measurements, with only small changes when considering synthetic profiles consistent with irregular Argo sampling. Extending the method to reconstruct the upper 2000 m reveals that model uncertainties at depth limit the reconstruction skill. The impact of these uncertainties on reconstructing the carbon inventory over the upper 2000 m is small, and full reconstructions with historical Argo locations show that the method can reconstruct regional inter-annual and decadal variability. Hence, optimal interpolation based on model relationships combined with hydrographic measurements can provide valuable information about global ocean carbon inventory changes.
