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 article, the authors examined six coupled climate model simulations to determine the ocean biological response to climate warming between the beginning of the industrial revolution and 2050, and found that global warming leads to a contraction of the highly productive marginal sea ice biome by 42% in the Northern Hemisphere and 17% in Southern Hemisphere, and leads to an expansion of the low productivity permanently stratified subtropical gyre biome by 4.0% in both hemispheres.

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 seven-component upper ocean ecosystem model of nitrogen cycling calibrated with observations at Bermuda Station "S" has been coupled to a three-dimensional seasonal general circulation model (GCM) of the North Atlantic ocean.
