Here, we show that the addition of a differential equation for temperature to the original daisyworld model leads to periodic oscillations in temperature about a homeostatic mean. These oscillations, in which the model alternates between dominance by either black or white daisies, arise from the internal dynamics of the system rather than from external forcing. An important criterion for the oscillations to occur is that solar luminosity be within the range in which both daisy species are viable. A second important criterion is that the ratio of the timescales for daisy population turnover and climate system thermal response be bounded. While internally driven oscillations are well known in predator–prey biological models and in coupled ocean energy balance– cryosphere models, the present study shows that such oscillations also can arise in a model of the biosphere coupled to its physical environment. The potential significance of this result to planet Earth and the science of geophysiology is discussed.

Uncertainties in the magnitude and distribution in the ozone perturbation due to uncertainties in lightning and deep convection as sources of upper tropospheric NO x have been studied. Three sets of two CTM experiments have been performed, with and without emissions from aircraft. A reference set with normal convection and 12 Tg(N)/ yr from lightning, a set with reduced lightning source (5 Tg(N)/ yr), and one set with reduced convective activity (67% lower mass fluxes of air). A zonally homogeneous increase in upper tropospheric ozone north of 40°N, reaching a maximum of 5–6 ppbv during May was found in the reference case. The largest effect of lower NO x emissions from lightning was a 50–70% higher enhancement of ozone due to aircraft at northern mid- and high-latitudes during summer. This was caused by lower background concentrations of NO x and therefore more effcient ozone production. Reduced convective mixing lead to a 40% increased enhancement in aircraft induced ozone at northern mid-latitudes and 150% enhancement in the tropics. In this case background NO x levels were higher in the upper troposphere, giving a decreased ozone production efficiency of NO x from aircraft. This was however, more than compensated for by a decreased downward mixing of ozone produced by emissions from aircraft.

Bulk aerosol samples were collected during April – May (intermonsoon) 1994, July – August (monsoon) 1995, 1996 and February – March (winter) 1995, 1997. The NO − 3 and 210 Pb concentrations, during the intermonsoon and winter, ranged from 0.4 to 4.1 μg m −3 and (12.3 to 70.3) × 10 −3 dpm m −3 , respectively; with systematically higher concentrations during the winter. Their concentrations were the lowest, 0.2 to 0.8 μg m −3 and (4.0 to 17.6) × 10 −3 dpm m −3 , respectively, during monsoon. The seasonal and spatial distributions of NO − 3 and 210 Pb in the aerosols show a significant positive correlation and bring to light the dominant ro le of continental sources in the chemistry of aerosols over the Arabian Sea. The NO − 3 deposition flux to the Arabian Sea surface is determined to be 0.9 mg m −2 d −1 based on the NO − 3 / 210 Pb ratio (43 μg/dpm −1 ) and the measured 210 Pb deposition flux of 20 dpm m −2 d −1 . The atmospheric NO − 3 flux to the mixed layer is insignificant compared to that fixed by primary production in this region and that supplied to the mixed layer from the base of the euphotic zone. The annual mean 210 Pb concentration (25 × 10 −3 dpm m −3 ) and its atmospheric deposition flux (20 dpm m −2 d −1 ) yield an effective deposition velocity of ∼0.9 cm s −1 for 210 Pb aerosols; similar to that used for deriving NO − 3 and NH + 4 deposition fluxes. The seasonal trend for SO 2− 4 concentrations is quite similar to that of NO − 3 , with the non-sea-salt component of SO 2− 4 being generally higher during the winter and the intermonsoon periods.

{"title":"The annual fCO2 cycle and the air–sea CO2 flux in the sub‐Antarctic Ocean","authors":"N. Metzl, B. Tilbrook, A. Poisson","doi":"10.3402/TELLUSB.V51I4.16495","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3402/TELLUSB.V51I4.16495","url":null,"abstract":"The sub-Antarctic zone (SAZ) lies between the subtropical convergence (STC) and the sub-Antarctic front (SAF), and is considered one of the strongest oceanic sinks of atmospheric CO 2 . The strong sink results from high winds and seasonally low sea surface fugacities of CO 2 ( f CO 2 ), relative to atmospheric f CO 2 . The region of the SAZ, and immediately south, is also subject to mode and intermediate water formation, yielding a penetration of anthropogenic CO 2 below the mixed layer. A detailed analysis of continuous measurements made during the same season and year, February – March 1993, shows a coherent pattern of f CO 2 distributions at the eastern (WOCE/SR3 at about 145°E) and western edges (WOCE/I6 at 30°E) of the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean. A strong CO 2 sink develops in the Austral summer (Δ f CO 2 < − 50 μatm) in both the eastern (110°−150°E) and western regions (20°−90°E). The strong CO 2 sink in summer is due to the formation of a shallow seasonal mixed-layer (about 100 m). The CO 2 drawdown in the surface water is consistent with biologically mediated drawdown of carbon over summer. In austral winter, surface f CO 2 is close to equilibrium with the atmosphere (Δ f CO 2 ± 5 μatm), and the net CO 2 exchange is small compared to summer. The near-equilibrium values in winter are associated with the formation of deep winter mixed-layers (up to 700 m). For years 1992–95, the annual CO 2 uptake for the Indian Ocean sector of the sub Antarctic Zone (40°−50°S, 20°−150°E) is estimated to be about 0.4 GtC yr −1 . Extrapolating this estimate to the entire sub-Antarctic zone suggests the uptake in the circumpolar SAZ is approaching 1 GtC yr −1 .

Midorikawa, Kazuhiro Nemoto","doi":"10.3402/TELLUSB.V51I4.16492","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3402/TELLUSB.V51I4.16492","url":null,"abstract":"During 1968 to 72, scientists of the Meteorological Research Institute/Japan Meteorological Agency measured CO 2 in the surface seawater and overlying air in the Pacific Ocean quasicontinuously to examine CO 2 exchange between the sea and the atmosphere. From the data remaining in our laboratory from that time, we re-evaluated the partial pressure of CO 2 in surface seawater ( p CO s 2 ) by taking into account pressure broadening effects due to the use of CO 2 -in-N 2 standards, the use of chemical desiccant (Mg(ClO 4 ) 2 ), calibration using background air data, seawater temperature rise between the equilibrator and sea surface, the WMO CO 2 mole fraction scale, and differences in pressure during the oceanic CO 2 measurements from those of standards and background air in the nondispersive infra-red gas analyser cell. The overall uncertainty of p CO s 2 measurements for the cruises from 1968 to 1970 was estimated to be less than 3.6 μatm, which allowed us to evaluate temporal variations in the carbonate system over a few decades, but uncertainty was higher (> 10 μatm) for the cruise from 1971 to 1972 because of serious malfunctions of the system. The re-evaluated p CO s 2 data from 1968 to 1970 exhibit patterns similar to those observed at the same place and time of year (within 30 days) in 1982/83, 1988, 1995 and 1996, but compared with levels in the 1980s and 1990s the p CO s 2 level was clearly lower in the wide area of the Pacific except south of the Subtropical Front (STF; 47°S) in the Australian sector. The observed p CO s 2 increased by 34 ± 5 μatm ( n = 133) for the area 7°N to 35°N, 138°E to 147°E from February 1969 to February 1995, 29 ± 5 μatm ( n = 247) for the area 9°N to 35°N, 138°E to 165°E from February 1970 to February/March 1996, 26 ± 7 μatm ( n = 224) for the area 29°N to 51°N, 170°W from April 1970 to April 1988, and 41 ± 9 μatm ( n = 165) for the area 10°S to 45°S, 148°E to 166°E from January/February 1969 to January/February 1995. In the northern subtropics (7°N to 35°N, 138°E to 147°E), we estimated the long-term increase (35 ± 6 μatm, n = 133) after removing seasonal variations that were obtained from the p CO s 2 -sea surface temperature (SST) relationship. Observed and seasonally adjusted increases were nearly equal to those of the partial pressure of CO 2 in the air (1.4 μatm yr −1 ) over the same time intervals. South of the STF, p CO s 2 increase as found in the subtropics was not detected, mostly due to the large variability of p CO s 2 (250 to 380 μatm in 1968/69) on small spatial scales. The average p CO s 2 south of the STF showed large variations on time scales of months and years that affect the estimation of the growth rate of atmospheric CO 2 .

The data were analysed in relation to meteorological parameters (potential temperature at tropopause level, relative humidity, potential temperature at JFJ), and total ozone at Arosa in eastern Switzerland. Composite 500 hPa geopotential height maps were computed for days with high and low 7 Be activity concentrations. It was found that downward transport associated with an upper ridge and a high tropopause is a significant controlling mechanism for high 7 Be activity concentrations at JFJ. In addition, wet scavenging is also important. A multiple linear regression model using potential temperature at tropopause level and relative humidity at JFJ as predictors explained 60% of the variability in the 7 Be activity concentrations over the investigated period. The results indicate that the indirect influence of stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) to the 7 Be activity concentrations at JFJ may be more important than the direct one during the period under investigation. The vigorous downward transport of stratospheric air to JFJ may be considered as the direct influence from STE, whereas a multi-step transport process with a longer tropospheric age of the stratospheric air masses may be considered as the indirect one. The indirect influence of stratosphere-troposphere exchange is investigated in a case study in which the highest 7 Be concentration, occurring from 16 to 23 July at JFJ, is associated with stratosphere-troposphere transport above northern Europe and strong southward advection with subsequent subsidence.","PeriodicalId":54432,"journal":{"name":"Tellus Series B-Chemical and Physical Meteorology","volume":"40 1","pages":"789-805"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"1999-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91060719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How does the richness of food web structures affect their resistance and resilience to perturbation? Most mathematical models of communities have shown that stability declines as complexity increases but so far, modellers have not included the material environment in their calculations. Here an otherwise conventional community ecology model is described, which includes feedback between the biota and their climate. This “geophysiological” model is stable in the sense that it resists perturbation. The more complex the community included in the model, the greater its stability in terms of both resistance to perturbation and rate of response to perturbation. This is a realistic way to model the naturalworld because organisms cannot avoid feedback to and from their material environment.

These results are used to create a model for the relative contribution of capillary waves to the gas exchange coefficient. The model input is wind speed u , and the output is K f the fractional contribution of a specific range of capillary waves to the total gas exchange coefficient. Wind speed data, obtained via satellite, are used as the model input to obtain globally averaged values for K f . In spite of the enhancing effect which capillary waves provide in the laboratory, the maximum value of K f predicted by the model is less than 10%, and global averages are less than 4%. The small values of K f are primarily due to the small wave energies predicted by existing wave height spectra in the high wave number regime. The uncertainty in existing wave height spectra, and the importance of experimental validation of the high wave number regime is discussed.
