Examining the Impact of Tropical Cyclones on Air‐Sea CO<sub>2</sub> Exchanges in the Bay of Bengal Based on Satellite Data and In Situ Observations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The impact of tropical cyclones (TCs) on the CO 2 partial pressure at the sea surface (pCO 2sea ) and air‐sea CO 2 flux (F CO2 ) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) was quantified based on satellite data and in situ observations between November 2013 and January 2017. The in situ observations were made at the BoB Ocean Acidification mooring buoy. A weak time‐mean net source of 55.78 ± 11.16 mmol CO 2 m −2 year −1 at the BoB Ocean Acidification site was estimated during this period. A wide range in increases of pCO 2sea (1.0–14.8 μatm) induced by TCs occurred in postmonsoon (October–December), and large decreases of pCO 2sea (−14.0 μatm) occurred in premonsoon (March–May). Large vertical differences in the ratio of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) to total alkalinity (TA) in the upper layer (ΔDIC/TA) were responsible for increasing pCO 2sea in postmonsoon. Relatively small values of ΔDIC/TA were responsible for decreasing pCO 2sea in premonsoon. Five TCs (Hudhud, Five, Kyant, Vardah, and Roanu) were considered. Hudhud significantly enhanced CO 2 efflux (18.49 ± 3.70 mmol CO 2 /m 2 ) in oversaturated areas due to the wind effect during the storm and wind‐pump effects after the storm. Vardah insignificantly changed F CO2 (1.22 ± 0.24 mmol CO 2 /m 2 ) in undersaturated areas because of the counteraction of these two effects. Roanu significantly enhanced CO 2 efflux (19.08 ± 3.82 mmol CO 2 /m 2 ) in highly oversaturated conditions (ΔpCO 2 > 20 μatm) since the wind effect greatly exceeded the wind‐pump effects. These five TCs were estimated to account for 55 ± 23% of the annual‐mean CO 2 annual efflux, suggesting that TCs have significant impacts on the carbon cycle in the BoB.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
