Radiocarbon constraints on the glacial ocean circulation and its impact on atmospheric CO2

Establishing the efficiency of the biological carbon pump is needed to constrain the impact of ocean circulation on the carbon cycle. Here, the authors compile a global array of ocean–atmosphere radiocarbon disequilibrium estimates and evaluate the strength of the carbon pump over the last glacial m...

Description
Summary:Establishing the efficiency of the biological carbon pump is needed to constrain the impact of ocean circulation on the carbon cycle. Here, the authors compile a global array of ocean–atmosphere radiocarbon disequilibrium estimates and evaluate the strength of the carbon pump over the last glacial maximum.
