TRANSCOM-1 Models *Law et al. (1996, GBC)

Fossil Emissions Scenario (TRANSCOM3) *Gurney et al. (2002, Final TRANSCOM3 Report)

Neutral Biosphere Scenario (TRANSCOM) Transcom1 (1996)Transcom3 (2002) *Gurney et al. (2002, Final TRANSCOM3 Report)*Law et al. (1996, GBC)

Rectifier correlated with N.H. Land Sink *Gurney et al (2002): Rectifier is the major uncertainty regarding the magnitude of the Northern Hemisphere C sink 16 different annual mean model responses to purely seasonal forcing Interhemispheric difference in Rectifier (ppmv) N. H. Land Sink (Pg C yr 1 ) *

Objectives of this study 1.Test sensitivity of rectifier to horizontal resolution 2.Investigate interannual variability of rectifier in CCM3 model.

Rectifier in CCM3 (T42) has large interannual variability *Normalized to South Pole

Variability = f(resolution) T42T31T21 T85T63

Interannual Variability: Zonal Mean (T42)

TRANSCOM-3 Stations

Interannual Variability: TransCom3 Stations (T42)

Spatial distribution of interannual rectifier? Mean Std. Dev. Range Rectifier: T42 ( )

Causes of interannual variability in the rectifier Mechanisms invoked to explain seasonal rectifier: Changes in local PBL height (Denning, 1995) Changes in wind direction (Taguchi, 1996) Changes in wind speed/”mixing volume” (Taylor, 1998) Meridional transport –Pearman and Hyson (1980) –Keeling et al. (1989)

Interannual Varib. of PBL Height (m): CCM3 T42 Annual Means (1983—2002)

Winter differences drive interannual variability

“Neutral Biosphere” : seasonal boundary condition (mol C cm -2 yr -1 ) *TRANSCOM3 Boundary Condition (also used in this study)

Maximum in Rectifier occurs North of maximum in N.B. forcing

Rectification: Horizontal Control Source Sink Source+SinkSource-Sink *Taguchi (1996, JGR, 101, )

Seasonal Prevailing Surface Winds: CCM3, T42 (1983—2002) NE: Region of Maximum Interannual Rectifier SW: Region of High Corr. (wind, pbl, rectifier)

Interannual variability in MBL pCO 2 (Globalview Zonal Mean, Detrended )

Conclusions: Resolution effect: differences but no clear tendency –Systematic bias due to insufficient resolution? –Interannual variability increases with model resolution –Need long high-resolution simulations Interannual variability of the rectifier: large in CCM3 –Importance of interannual variability of horizontal transport –Comparable to the range of TRANSCOM models –Comparable to observed interannual variability of pCO2 in MBL –Atm. CO 2 Growth rate = f(SMS, Interannual Var. in Transport) –Interannual variability in transport likely to differ among models Inversions with AGCM not appropriate Effect of Nudging? Different reanalysis products; different models? Call for new efforts to constrain effect of interannual variability in atmospheric transport on inverse estimates of C sources and sinks
