SUMMARY:Conceptual models of ocean heat and carbon uptake - Laure Zanna (U
 niversity of Oxford)

CONTACT:Dr Dan Jones
DESCRIPTION:Through heat and carbon uptake\, the ocean reduces or delays a
 tmospheric warming due to radiative forcing. However the feedback of futur
 e changes of dynamical processes on surface temperatures and levels of atm
 ospheric CO2 is not well constrained.  I will discuss a set of scalings in
  order to quantify the role of different dynamical processes in setting th
 e heat and carbon uptake with a focus on the Southern Ocean wind and eddie
 s. The scalings will form the basis for a conceptual model of ocean uptake
  to interpret the results of complex general circulation models\, includin
 g quantifying sources and sinks of ocean heat uptake and feedback processe
 s involving air-sea carbon fluxes. I will concentrate on adjustment timesc
 ales of ocean and carbon uptake under different climate change scenarios.
