TL;DR: 13 models of the ocean–carbon cycle are used to assess calcium carbonate saturation under the IS92a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario for future emissions of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and indicate that conditions detrimental to high-latitude ecosystems could develop within decades, not centuries as suggested previously.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used radiocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon-11 data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) to assess a suite of 19 ocean carbon cycle models.

TL;DR: A suite of standard ocean hydrographic and circulation metrics are applied to the equilibrium physical solutions from 13 global carbon models participating in phase 2 of the Ocean Carbon-cycle Model Intercomparison Project (OCMIP-2) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In the Ocean Carbon Model Intercomparison Project (OCMIP) as mentioned in this paper, the authors compared the performance of 13 models with respect to their ability to ventilate the ocean on timescales relevant for anthropogenic CO2 uptake.

TL;DR: The Ocean Carbon-cycle Model Intercomparison Project (OCMIPP) as mentioned in this paper was the second phase of the Ocean Carbon Cycle Model Comparison Project, where the authors used a simple biogeochemical model to simulate ocean circulation.
