摘要

Continental shelf systems are thought to play an important role in the exchange ofcarbon dioxide (CO_2) between the atmosphere and ocean. Currently, our ability toquantify the air-sea flux of CO_2on continental shelves is limited due to large spatial andtemporal variability coupled with historically sparse oceanographic measurements (e.g., ofsurface water pCO_2). Here we use the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) toquantify the air-sea flux of CO_2and its interannual variability on the northeast U.S.continental shelf, which includes the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) and Gulf of Maine(GOM). Two years marked by opposite phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)are considered in the study. A novel analysis method, second-order Taylor seriesdecomposition, is used to identify the important processes responsible for producingNAO-related changes in the CO_2air-sea flux. On the northeast U.S. shelf, atmosphericCO2 uptake as simulated by ROMS decreases from 2.4 Mt C yr~(-1)in 1985 (low NAO)to 1.8 Mt C yr~(-1)in 1990 (high NAO), with most of this decrease (0.5 Mt C yr~(- )1)occurring in the MAB. In the MAB the difference in annual air-sea flux of CO_2is duemainly to changes in near-surface wind speed, while the flux difference in the GOM iscontrolled primarily by surface water pCO_2(CO_2partial pressure) changes resulting fromchanges in sea surface temperature and new production. The large magnitude ofinterannual variability in the air-sea flux of CO_2simulated here suggests the potential foreven more significant flux changes in the future as climate change accelerates.
