Strong sensitivity of Southern Ocean carbon uptake and nutrient cycling to wind stirring

Here we test the hypothesis that winds have an important role in determining the rate of exchange of CO<sub>2</sub> between the atmosphere and ocean through wind stirring over the Southern Ocean. This is tested with a sensitivity study using an ad hoc parameterization of wind stirring in...
