We have combined the available total CO2, temperature, salinity and oxygen data from the TTO, SAVE and WOCE programs in the Atlantic Ocean to parameterize TCO2 below 500 m depth as a function of potential temperature, salinity and apparent oxygen utilization. We then use the Levitus data set of temperature, salinity and oxygen to compute the TCO2 profiles at the resolution of the Levitus data set on a 1° × 1° grid with a vertical resolution of 33 layers, more densely spaced in the upper 1500 m than below. Depending on the method used to interpolate the data (along isopycnals or vertically by station), the estimated random uncertainty of the computed TC02 values in the Atlantic Ocean throughout the water column below the wintertime mixed layer depth ranges from ± 7.1 μmol kg−1 to t 5.9 μmol kg−1.  相似文献

An improved model is presented for the calculation of the solubility of carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions containing Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl, and SO42− in a wide temperature–pressure–ionic strength range (from 273 to 533 K, from 0 to 2000 bar, and from 0 to 4.5 molality of salts) with experimental accuracy. The improvements over the previous model [Duan, Z. and Sun, R., 2003. An improved model calculating CO2 solubility in pure water and aqueous NaCl solutions from 273 to 533K and from 0 to 2000 bar. Chemical Geology, 193: 257–271] include: (1) By developing a non-iterative equation to replace the original equation of state in the calculation of CO2 fugacity coefficients, the new model is at least twenty times computationally faster and can be easily adapted to numerical reaction-flow simulator for such applications as CO2 sequestration and (2) By fitting to the new solubility data, the new model improved the accuracy below 288 K from 6% to about 3% of uncertainty but still retains the high accuracy of the original model above 288 K. We comprehensively evaluate all experimental CO2 solubility data. Compared with these data, this model not only reproduces all the reliable data used for the parameterization but also predicts the data that were not used in the parameterization. In order to facilitate the application to CO2 sequestration, we also predicted CO2 solubility in seawater at two-phase coexistence (vapor–liquid or liquid–liquid) and at three-phase coexistence (CO2 hydrate–liquid water–vapor CO2 [or liquid CO2]).

Measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), total dissolved inorganic carbon (TCO2), total alkalinity (TA) and chlorophyll a (Chl a) have been made in surface water in the southwestern Indian sector of the Southern Ocean (20–85°E) in the austral summer (INDIVAT V cruise, January-February 1987). Between Antarctica and Africa, pCO2 distribution was linked to the oceanic frontal zones and Chi a variations. The pCO2 spatial structure was very close to that explored in summer 1967 in the same region but the pCO2 differences between the ocean and the atmosphere were smaller in 1987 than 20 years ago. At all latitudes we found strongly contrasting surface pCO2 characteristics between eastern (around 80°E) and western (around 25°E) regions; C02 sources were mainly in the west and CO2 sinks in the east. South of 60°S, the contrast could be due to biological activity. Between 60°S and the Antarctic Polar Front, intensification of upwelling might be responsible for the higher pCO2 values in the west.  相似文献

The uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the water transported over the Bering–Chukchi shelves has been assessed from the change in carbon-related chemical constituents. The calculated uptake of atmospheric CO2 from the time that the water enters the Bering Sea shelf until it reaches the northern Chukchi Sea shelf slope (1 year) was estimated to be 86±22 g C m−2 in the upper 100 m. Combining the average uptake per m3 with a volume flow of 0.83×106 m3 s−1 through the Bering Strait yields a flux of 22×1012 g C year−1. We have also estimated the relative contribution from cooling, biology, freshening, CaCO3 dissolution, and denitrification for the modification of the seawater pCO2 over the shelf. The latter three had negligible impact on pCO2 compared to biology and cooling. Biology was found to be almost twice as important as cooling for lowering the pCO2 in the water on the Bering–Chukchi shelves. Those results were compared with earlier surveys made in the Barents Sea, where the uptake of atmospheric CO2 was about half that estimated in the Bering–Chukchi Seas. Cooling and biology were of nearly equal significance in the Barents Sea in driving the flux of CO2 into the ocean. The differences between the two regions are discussed. The loss of inorganic carbon due to primary production was estimated from the change in phosphate concentration in the water column. A larger loss of nitrate relative to phosphate compared to the classical ΔN/ΔP ratio of 16 was found. This excess loss was about 30% of the initial nitrate concentration and could possibly be explained by denitrification in the sediment of the Bering and Chukchi Seas.  相似文献

The hydrolysis of silicic acid, Si(OH)4, was studied in a simplified seawater medium (0.6 M Na(Cl)) at 25°C. The measurements were performed as potentiometric titrations (hydrogen electrode) in which OH was generated coulometrically. The total concentration of Si(OH)4, B, and log[H+] were varied within the limits 0.00075 B 0.008 M and 2.5 -log[H+] 11.7, respectively. Within these ranges the formation of SiO(OH)3 and SiO2(OH)22− with formation constants log β−11(Si(OH)4 SiO(OH)3 + H+) = −9.472 ±0.002 and log β−21(Si(OH)4 SiO2(OH)22− + 2H+) = −22.07 ± 0.01 was established. With B > 0.003 M polysilicate complexes are formed, however, with -log[H+] 10.7 their formation does not significantly affect the evaluated formation constants. Data were analyzed with the least squares computer program LETAGROPVRID.  相似文献
