1 Interactions with US scientists Rik Wanninkhof NOAA/AOML, Miami On behalf of Richard Feely, Associated US representative SSC  Carbon Cycle Coordination and Management in the USA  USA- CarboOcean management and science interface  Research highlights

2 US Carbon Cycle Research Overseen by a Carbon Cycle Interagency Working Group (NSF,NOAA,NASA, DOE, USGS, USDA…. ) Advised by a US Carbon Cycle Scientific Steering group led by Jim Yoder, WHOI, Richard Feely & Scott Doney - ocean representatives  North American Carbon Program (NACP) Terrestrial (and coastal ocean) carbon cycling and sequestration in the US: - Science meeting January 2007, Colorado Springs  Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program, Program office in Woods Hole- http://ocb.whoi.eduhttp://ocb.whoi.edu Project Components 1.community building and support 2.workshop sponsorship 3.data management (including data recovery, enhanced availability and long- term archive) Annual summer meeting July 23rd-26th, 2007 in Woods Hole MA. On site representative: Joanie Kleypass

3 Ocean Carbon and Climate Change Program (OCCC) Sub-component of OCB Significant OCB planning reports 2006 US SOLAS US Ocean Acidification Imp. Strategy Report

4 Organizational Framework for USA Collaborations in CarboOcean Scientific Steering Committee Associated US representative: Richard Feely, NOAA/PMEL External participant for database coordination: Alex Kozyr, DOE/ORNL International Advisory Panel of the Integrated Project CarboOcean Nick Bates, BIOS Steve Emerson, U. Washington Inez Fung, BerkeleyJoanie Kleypas, UCAR Scott Doney, WHOI USA Scientific Partners in CarboOcean Michael Bender, Princeton Klaus Keller, Penn State Andrew Dickson, SIOTim Lueker, SIO Richard Feely, PMEL Jorge Sarmiento, Princeton [Niki Gruber, UCLA]Rik Wanninkhof, AOML David Hutchins, DelawareAlex Kosyr, ORNL George Jackson Texas A&M Ralph Keeling, SIO Robert Key, Princeton Should membership be updated and/or re-assessed??

5 Collaborative efforts: S. E. Mikaloff Fletcher and N. Gruber and A.R. Jacobson and S. C. Doney and S. Dutkiewicz and M. Gerber and M. Follows and and F. Joos and K. Lindsay and D. Menemenlis and A. Mouche and S. Müller and J. Sarmiento, Inverse Estimates of Anthropogenic CO 2 Uptake, Transport, and Storage by the Ocean gbc,2006,20,doi:10.1029/2005GB002530 S. E. Mikaloff Fletcherand N. Gruber and A.R. Jacobson and M. Gloor and S. C. Doney and S. Dutkiewicz and M. Gerber and M. Follows and and F. Joos and K. Lindsay and D. Menemenlis and A. Mouchet and S. Müller and J. Sarmiento, Inverse estimates of the oceanic sources and sinks of natural CO 2 and the implied oceanic carbon transport gbc, 2006, in press Should framework of collaboration be re-assessed?? Bottom-up versus top-down

6 US CLIVAR CO 2 repeat hydrography A13.5 move from 2010 to 2009

7 Decadal CO 2 changes in a changing ocean What is the true ∆C anthro signal ? ∆DIC bio (O2) = 0.82 mol m -2 yr -1 ∆DIC bio (NO3) = 0.39 mol m -2 yr -1 ∆DIC = 0.58 mol m -2 yr -1 E-MLR = 0.68 mol m -2 yr -1 ∆DIC e-mlr = f(Si, NO 3, AOU, S,T) ∆DIC dmlr = 33+0.034Si+0.31NO 3 -0.047AOU-1.08S+0.665 T

(Be careful what you wish for) * 3 VOS in North Atlantic (Monthly-Weekly) (US-Iceland, US-Bermuda, Caribbean) * 3 Research ships in North Atlantic * 3 Data sites- 1 central QC - (Sent on the CDIAC -no data embargo)

9 NOAA pCO 2 on ships project FY-06 performance ≈ 483 K points

10 Carbo Ocean question: Will UK effort continue in near-term? New NOAA VOS line ?

11 Near real time data display www.aoml.noaa.gov/ocd/gcc

12 Instrumentation Status of GO ( General Oceanics) systems * 6-units in December, 6-units shortly (?)thereafter. Based on time of ordering * Initial product support assistance by Kevin Sullivan and Denis Pierrot, NOAA/AOML

13 First production run at GO Issue: Lack of tried and true old parts and subcomponents: LiCor, UIC coulometer

14 Approach (Lee et al. 1998, Park et al., 2006): pCO 2SWym =[pCO 2SW1995m + (  pCO 2SW /  SST) 1995m   SST ym  1995m ] Create seasonal (  pCO 2SW /  SST) relationships from Takahashi Climatology and apply it the interannual ocean temperature anomalies An initial global estimate of variability in air-sea fluxes

15 Results using a decade of remotely sensed SST and winds combined with (∂pCO 2SW /∂SST) relationships

16 Interannual changes ± 0.16 Pg C year -1 Other ocean (model) estimates are in this range as well Interannual variability  Most of the variability (≈70 %) attributed to the Eq. Pac. ENSO  50 % due the ∆pCO 2 anomalies; 50 % due to wind speed variability  Large regional changes- low global changes : regional compensating effects?

17 Closing thoughts on increased formal collaboration  Formal agreements on regional seasonal flux maps  Post-doc/ young investigator exchange funded by NSF/ EU?  Sponsored meetings for individual topics between US and EU? -Underway  Sponsored joint development of instruments, observing systems -Underway
