Abstract
Abstract The ocean absorbs anthropogenic carbon, slowing atmospheric CO 2 increase but driving ocean acidification. Long‐term changes in the carbon system are typically assessed from single‐point time series or from hydrographic sections spaced by decades. Using higher resolution observations (1–3 year −1 ) from the Line P time series, we investigate processes modulating trends in the carbon system of the northeast subarctic Pacific. Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) from 1990 to 2019 reveal substantial trends over most of the upper water column along the 1,500 km coastal to open ocean transect. At the surface, an increasing trend in salinity‐normalized DIC (sDIC 33 ) (+0.5 ± 0.4 μmol kg −1 yr −1 ) is associated with a decrease in pH (0.01–0.02 decade −1 ) and a decrease in aragonite saturation state (0.04–0.08 decade −1 ). These observed trends are driven by anthropogenic CO 2 uptake, partially offset by trends in surface salinity or temperature. Stratification associated with recent marine heat waves appears to have caused anomalously low surface pCO 2 . sDIC 33 trends of similar magnitude were found below the seasonal thermocline on the 26.7–26.8 isopycnals (150–300 m), which are ventilated in the western Pacific. Roughly, a third (20%–50%) of the subsurface sDIC 33 trend is driven by increased remineralization, likely caused by long‐term decreases in ventilation in the western Pacific. Bidecadal oscillations in the ventilation of the 26.7–26.8 isopycnals arising from the Lunar Nodal Cycle cause oscillations in sDIC 33 and AOU at the offshore end of our transect. We trace the oscillations to alternating periods of higher anthropogenic carbon uptake or higher carbon remineralization.

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 it
