Fig. 5

Seasonal cycle of a, b net primary production in the surface ocean (NPP) and c, d mixed layer depth (MLD), monthly rates of change of e, f surface dissolved inorganic carbon (dDIC/dt), g, h apparent oxygen utilization rate (dAOU/dt, g, h), and i, j surface temperature (dSST/dt) in the Sub-Antarctic region (left) and the Antarctic region (right). The blue lines are the present climate (1995–2014) and the orange lines are the end of the 21st century (2080–2099). Black lines depict observational estimates. The shading in all figures shows the inter-model standard deviation.
