Schwartz (2024): Anticorrelation of net uptake of atmospheric CO2 by the world ocean and terrestrial biosphere in current carbon cycle models

The rate of decrease in excess atmospheric CO₂ and the apportionment of this decrease into the two sink compartments world ocean (WO) and the terrestrial biosphere (TB) have been examined in two prior model intercomparison studies, subsequent either to a pulse emission of CO₂ or to abrupt cessation of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. The present study examines and quantifies inter-model anticorrelation in those studies in the net rate and extent of uptake of CO₂ into the two sink compartments.
