Uptake and sequestration of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> in the Labrador Sea deep convection region
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Labrador Sea is an important area of deep water formation and is hypothesized to be a significant sink for atmospheric CO2 to the deep ocean. Here we examine the dynamics of the CO2 system in the Labrador Sea using time‐series data obtained from instrumentation deployed on a mooring near the former Ocean Weather Station Bravo. A 1‐D model is used to determine the air‐sea CO2 uptake and penetration of the CO2 into intermediate waters. The results support that mixed‐layer pCO2 remained undersaturated throughout most of the year, ranging from 220 μatm in mid‐summer to 375 μatm in the late spring. Net community production in the summer offset the increase in pCO2 expected from heating and air‐sea uptake. In the fall and winter, cooling counterbalanced a predicted increase in pCO2 from vertical convection and air‐sea uptake. The predicted annual mean air to sea flux was 4.6 mol m−2 yr−1 resulting in an annual uptake of 0.011 ± 0.005 Pg C from the atmosphere within the convection region. In 2001, approximately half of the atmospheric CO2 penetrated below 500 m due to deep convection.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
