Christopher L. Sabine,Richard A. Feely,Nicolas Gruber,R.M. Key,Kitack Lee,John L. Bullister,Rik Wanninkhof,C. S. Wong,Douglas W.R. Wallace,Bronte Tilbrook,Frank J. Millero,Tsung-Hung Peng,Alexander Kozyr,T. Ono,Aida F. Ríos +14 more
TL;DR: Using inorganic carbon measurements from an international survey effort in the 1990s and a tracer-based separation technique, the authors estimate a global oceanic anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) sink for the period from 1800 to 1994 of 118 19 petagrams of carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Anthropogenic CO2 on the CaCO3 System in the Oceans
Richard A. Feely,Christopher L. Sabine,Kitack Lee,William M. Berelson,Joanie Kleypas,Victoria J. Fabry,Frank J. Millero +6 more
TL;DR: The in situ CaCO3 dissolution rates for the global oceans from total alkalinity and chlorofluorocarbon data are estimated, and the future impacts of anthropogenic CO2 on Ca CO3 shell–forming species are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global ocean carbon climatology: Results from Global Data Analysis Project (GLODAP)
Robert M. Key,Alexander Kozyr,Christopher L. Sabine,Kitack Lee,Rik Wanninkhof,John L. Bullister,Richard A. Feely,Frank J. Millero,Calvin W. Mordy,Tsung-Hung Peng +9 more
TL;DR: The Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP) as mentioned in this paper uses ocean sampling data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), and the Ocean Atmosphere Carbon Exchange Study (OACES) to produce objectively gridded property maps at a 1° resolution on 33 depth surfaces chosen to match existing climatologies for temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Findings indicate that iron limitation can control rates of phytoplankton productivity and biomass in the ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global relationships of total alkalinity with salinity and temperature in surface waters of the world's oceans
Kitack Lee,Lan T. Tong,Frank J. Millero,Christopher L. Sabine,Andrew G. Dickson,Catherine Goyet,Geun Ha Park,Rik Wanninkhof,Richard A. Feely,Robert M. Key +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple function of sea surface salinity and temperature (SST) in the form AT = a + b (SSS − 35) + c (SS −35)2 + d (sST − 20) + e (Sst − 20 )2 fits surface total alkalinity (AT) data for each of five oceanographic regimes within an area-weighted uncertainty of ±8.1 μmol kg−1 (1σ).
