H-G perturbation budget (GTC)
• atm +170
• surface ocean +30
• biota +400 to +600
• deep ocean -600 to -800
~ Sundquist ‘93
quantificationG-H increase in atm. C burden by mass:
mass atm. in moles = 1.73E20M
CO2 mole fraction increase = 80 ppm = 80 M_c/M_atm
product = 1.38E22 uM_c= 1.38E16M_c = 13.8 petaM_c *12g/M_c = 166 PgC (=GTC)
Equilibrium increase in surface ocean DIC from homogenous ocean buffer factor (B) = 10:
∂pCO2_pert_atm/pCO2_init_atm= B * ∂DIC_pert_oce/DIC_init_oce
280 ppm CO2_pert_atm/ 200 ppm CO2_init_atm = 1.40 = +40%
0.4/10 * 900GTC_oce_init = +36 GTC
(see following TM presentation for full explanation of “B”)
Change in land biota (from simple whole ocean 13C mass balance constraint):
H-G 13C_oce = -0.3 per mil
present whole ocean 13C_abs = 0 per mil (by definition)
land biosphere 13C_avg = -20 per mil (mean photosynthetic discrimination)
38000 GTC_init (0 per mil) = X_pert GTC (-20 per mil) + (38,000 - X_pert GTC) (-0.3 per mil)
X_pert = +570 GTC
(per mil = ppt deviation from measurement standard)
