Extended Data Fig. 2: Historical and future cumulative heat and carbon uptake.
From: Asymmetries in the Southern Ocean contribution to global heat and carbon uptake
Combined historical and future projection for heat and carbon uptake: (a) Transient evolution of global (black line), northern oceans (red line) and southern oceans (blue line) for heat and carbon following the shared socio-economic pathway SSP2-4.5 scenario from 1850 to 2100; (b) synthesis plot for the change in the cumulative fluxes and storage of heat and carbon for 2091 to 2100 relative to 1861 to 1880, which are evaluated for the top of the atmosphere, the surface ocean and the ocean interior, and implied transports through latitudes of 30oN and 30oS. In (a) there is the model mean and standard deviation (shading) with northern and southern ocean domains defined as north of 30oN and south of 30oS respectively. Diagnostics are based on 10 CMIP6 multi-model, single-ensemble means for heat and 17 CMIP6 multi-model, single-ensemble means for carbon.
