The inventory and variability of oceanic dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is driven by the interplay of physical, chemical, and biological processes. Quantifying the spatiotemporal variability of these drivers is crucial for a mechanistic understanding of the ocean carbon sink and its future trajectory. Here, we use the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean-Darwin ocean biogeochemistry state estimate to generate a global-ocean, data-constrained DIC budget and investigate how spatial and seasonal-to-interannual variability in three-dimensional circulation, air-sea CO flux, and biological processes have modulated the ocean sink for 1995-2018.

Estimation of the variability of the ocean mixed layer is therefore important for atmosphere-ocean prediction and analysis. The increasing coverage of in situ Argo profile data allows for an increasingly accurate analysis of the mixed layer depth (MLD) variability associated with deviations from the seasonal climatology.

Micellar casein concentrate with 95% MDWP removal was produced from skim milk (50°C) with a 3×, 3-stage ceramic microfiltration (MF) process using 0.

There is paucity of published literature regarding the utility of these devices especially in neonates and infants. We sought to evaluate if simulation-based education and debriefing using a CPR feedback device would improve CPR performance on an infant manikin in a cohort of NICU nurses as evaluated by CPR feedback device.

However, the processes controlling the outgassing remain elusive. We show, using a multi-glider dataset combining F and ocean turbulence, that the air-sea gradient of CO (∆pCO) is modulated by synoptic storm-driven ocean variability (20 µatm, 1-10 days) through two processes.
