Metadata: Anthropogenic carbon transports at 26N as estimated using the RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS array for 2004 to 2012
Abstract:
The dataset comprises the combination of estimates of anthropogenic carbon derived from hydrographic occupations of the 26N section with volume transports for the area between east USA and Africa calculated using the RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS AMOC timeseries. The data cover the time period between April 2004 and October 2012. The observations will be used with data from other sources to determine and interpret the accumulation of anthropogenic carbon in the North Atlantic, to infer the magnitude and variability of uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and assess the risk of changes in the meridional overturning circulation on the marine carbon cycle. The Atlantic Biogeochemical Fluxes programme (ABC-Fluxes) is a joint effort between NERC in the UK (Principal Investigator Elaine McDonagh), and NOAA in the USA (Molly Baringer). It builds on the work of the RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS programme, a joint effort between NERC in the UK (Principal Investigator Eleanor Frajka-Williams), NOAA (Molly Baringer) and RSMAS (Bill Johns) in the USA. The Atlantic anthropogenic carbon transport (and its components), calculated from the above data, are held by BODC in NetCDF format.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Estimates of anthropogenic carbon derived from hydrographic cruise occupations at 24.5N have been combined with volume transport estimates produced by the RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS (RAPID-Meridional Overturning Circulation and Heatflux Array-Western Boundary Time Series) programme at 26N to generate a time series of anthropogenic carbon transports between 2004 and 2012. Anthropogenic carbon is calculated using measurements of temperature, salinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, oxygen, inorganic nutrientsand chlorofluorocarbons collected on cruises between the east coast of USA and Africa between 1992 and 2011. The volume transport time series is derived from measurements of temperature, salinity, pressure and water velocity from an array of moored instruments that extend from the east coast of the Bahamas to the continental shelf off Africa east of the Canary Islands, combined with estimates of the transport in the Florida Strait derived from sub-sea cable measurements calibrated by regular hydrographic cruises, and satellite scatterometer measurements (wind driven Ekman transport). The data were provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library |
