Brief overview of scientific outcome

Work Package 1

(Jeansson, Olsen, PhD, Tjiputra, Johannessen)

•    Decadal variability in ventilation and water mass ages in the Nordic Seas
•    Exchange rates within the Nordic Seas, and with the surrounding areas
•    Improved understanding of the uncertainties in ages from the transit time distribution method


Work Package 2

(Glessmer, Jeansson, Olsen, Tjiputra)

•    Contemporary remineralisation rates in the Nordic Seas and Arctic Ocean
•    Decadal variability in remineralisation rates in the Nordic Seas and Arctic Ocean
•    Decadal variability in distribution and inventory of anthropogenic CO2 in the Nordic Seas

Work Package 3

(Langehaug, Postdoc, Gao, Tjiputra)

•    Simulation of contemporary mean spatial characteristics and ventilation rates in the Nordic Seas by NorESM
•    Future changes in water mass formation and associated carbon fluxes in low- and high-CO2 future scenarios
