FROM TROPICAL TO GLOBAL 1) An OGCM (OPA) on global configuration: 0.5 ° ° x 2.0 ° (Lat x Lon) 1.5 order TKE Model. Gent-McWilliams eddy-mixing. 2) An ocean biogeochemistry model (Dynamic Green Ocean Model) : Diatoms and Coccolithophores and Nanophytoplankton. Micro and Mesozooplankton. Co-limitation of light,P, Si and Fe. 3) A Sea-Ice model (LIM) Tropical Studies : Nakamoto et al. (2000, 2001); Murtugudde et al.

IMPACT ON OCEAN CARBON CYCLE DiagnosticHow much ?Why ? ΔTOTAL PRIMARY PRODUCTION +0.6 PgC yr -1 Increased stratification and extra lateral supply of PO 4 in the subtropics. ΔEXPORT PRODUCTION -0.3 PgC yr -1 Greater stratification & higher remineralization of organic matter. ΔCO 2 FLUX-0.1 PgC yr -1 Surface warming, reduced vertical mixing, enhanced equatorial upwelling.
