Ocean circulation, CO2 paper

They find that air-sea disequilibrium greatly amplifies the effects of cooler temperatures and iron fertilization on glacial ocean carbon storage even as the efficiency of the soft-tissue biological pump decreases.

These two processes, which have previously been regarded as minor, explain most of their simulated glacial CO2 drawdown, while ocean circulation and sea-ice extent, hitherto considered dominant, emerge as relatively small contributors.
