Observing system needs for understanding carbon–climate feedbacks
Carbon–climate (CC) feedbacks — arising from response of land and ocean carbon sinks to elevated CO 2 and climate warming — are critical yet highly uncertain drivers of Earth’s climate trajectory. Processes such as permafrost thaw, tropical forest dieback, reduced ocean uptake, and intensifying climate extremes are already weakening natural carbon sinks, with potential to amplify warming and accelerate crossing of tipping points. Detecting and qu…
Internal climate variability modulates decadal changes in ocean anthropogenic carbon storage
The ocean removes man-made (anthropogenic) carbon from the atmosphere and thereby mitigates climate change. Observations from global hydrographic surveys reveal the spatial and temporal evolution of the ocean inventory of anthropogenic carbon and suggest substantial decadal variability in historical storage rates. Here, we use a 100-member ensemble of an Earth system model to investigate the influence of external forcing and internal climate vari…
High predictability of terrestrial carbon fluxes from an initialized decadal prediction system
Interannual variations in the flux of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) between the land surface and the atmosphere are the dominant component of interannual variations in the atmospheric CO 2 growth rate. Here, we investigate the potential to predict variations in these terrestrial carbon fluxes 1–10 years in advance using a novel set of retrospective decadal forecasts of an Earth system model. We demonstrate that globally-integrated net ecosystem producti…
Reducing uncertainty in projections of terrestrial carbon uptake
Carbon uptake by the oceans and terrestrial biosphere regulates atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and affects Earth's climate, yet global carbon cycle projections over the next century are highly uncertain. Here, we quantify and isolate the sources of projection uncertainty in cumulative ocean and terrestrial carbon uptake over 2006-2100 by performing an analysis of variance on output from an ensemble of 12 Earth System Models. Whereas unc…
