Abstract/Summary:
Air-sea fluxes of CO;In this thesis, I quantify the covariance and the nonlinearity terms at various spatial and temporal scales and explore implications of these results for studies of air-sea fluxes of CO;To study the temporal components of the covariance and the nonlinearity terms a new ecosystem model of the Labrador Sea is developed. The model is then used to simulate the annual cycles of K, T, S, C and A. When the annual means of these properties are used to compute air-sea fluxes of CO;The Labrador Sea model is used to rank the importance of various oceanic processes for air-sea CO...
