Atomic oxygen (O) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) results from a balance between production via photo‐dissociation in the lower thermosphere and chemical loss by recombination in the upper mesosphere. The transport of O downward from the lower thermosphere into the mesosphere is preferentially driven by the eddy diffusion process that results from dissipating gravity waves and instabilities. The motivation here is to probe the intra‐annual variability of the eddy diffusion coefficient (k

Abstract zz ) and eddy velocity in the MLT based on the climatology of the region, initially accomplished by Garcia and Solomon (1985,https://doi.org/10.1029/JD090iD02p03850 ). In the current study, the intra‐annual cycle was divided into 26 two‐week periods for each of three zones: the northern hemisphere (NH), southern hemisphere (SH), and equatorial (EQ). Both 16 years of SABER (2002–2018) and 10 years of SCIAMACHY (2002–2012) O density measurements, along with NRLMSIS®2.0 were used for calculation of atomic oxygen eddy diffusion velocities and fluxes. Our prominent findings include a dominant annual oscillation below 87 km in the NH and SH zones, with a factor of 3–4 variation between winter and summer at 83 km, and a dominant semiannual oscillation at all altitudes in the EQ zone. The measured global average kzz at 96 km lacks the intra‐annual variability of upper atmosphere density data deduced by Qian et al. (2009,https://doi.org/10.1029/2008JA013643 ). The very large seasonal (and hemispherical) variations in kzz and O densities are important to separate and isolate in satellite analysis and to incorporate in MLT models. -

Abstract New estimates of
p CO2from profiling floats deployed by the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) project have demonstrated the importance of wintertime outgassing south of the Polar Front, challenging the accepted magnitude of Southern Ocean carbon uptake (Gray et al., 2018,https://doi:10.1029/2018GL078013 ). Here, we put 3.5 years of SOCCOM observations into broader context with the global surface carbon dioxide database (Surface Ocean CO2Atlas, SOCAT) by using the two interpolation methods currently used to assess the ocean models in the Global Carbon Budget (Le Quéré et al., 2018,https://doi:10.5194/essd‐10‐2141‐2018 ) to create a ship‐only, a float‐weighted, and a combined estimate of Southern Ocean carbon fluxes (<35°S). In our ship‐only estimate, we calculate a mean uptake of −1.14 ± 0.19 Pg C/yr for 2015–2017, consistent with prior studies. The float‐weighted estimate yields a significantly lower Southern Ocean uptake of −0.35 ± 0.19 Pg C/yr. Subsampling of high‐resolution ocean biogeochemical process models indicates that some of the differences between float and ship‐only estimates of the Southern Ocean carbon flux can be explained by spatial and temporal sampling differences. The combined ship and float estimate minimizes the root‐mean‐squarep CO2difference between the mapped product and both data sets, giving a new Southern Ocean uptake of −0.75 ± 0.22 Pg C/yr, though with uncertainties that overlap the ship‐only estimate. An atmospheric inversion reveals that a shift of this magnitude in the contemporary Southern Ocean carbon flux must be compensated for by ocean or land sinks within the Southern Hemisphere. -

Abstract Estimates of ice volume over the last 120 ka, from marine isotope Stage (MIS) 5d (∼110 ka) through MIS 3 (60–26 ka) are uncertain. Weiss et al. (2022,
https://doi.org/10.1029/2021PA004361 ) offer an innovative new constraint on past sea level using the oxygen isotopes (δ 18O) of planktic (surface and thermocline dwelling) foraminifers to infer the salinity of the Sulu Sea in the Indo‐Pacific Ocean and assess flow through the Karimata Strait (Indonesia) over the last glaciation. Based on the timing of Karimata Strait flooding, the study concludes that local relative sea level in the Karimata Strait was >−86 m during MIS 5c (∼100 ka) and >−12 6 m during MIS 5a (∼80 ka), relative to present. For MIS 3, a maximum possible relative sea level of −16 6 m is determined. Here, these results are placed into the context of current knowledge of last glacial sea‐level change and the implications for climate forcings and feedbacks (e.g., global average surface temperature and greenhouse gases) and ice sheet growth are discussed. By tracing past ocean circulation patterns that are modulated by the depth of shallow straits such as the Karimata Strait, Weiss et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021PA004361 ) provide independent constraints on local sea level, which are essential for improving global mean sea level reconstructions on late Pleistocene glacial‐interglacial cycles. -

Abstract Synechococcus are the most abundant cyanobacteria in high latitude regions and are responsible for an estimated 17% of annual marine net primary productivity. Despite their biogeochemical importance, Synechococcus populations have been unevenly sampled across the ocean, with most studies focused on low-latitude strains. In particular, the near absence of Synechococcus genomes from high-latitude, High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) regions leaves a gap in our knowledge of picocyanobacterial adaptations to iron limitation and their influence on carbon, nitrogen, and iron cycles. We examined Synechococcus populations from the subarctic North Pacific, a well-characterized HNLC region, with quantitative metagenomics. Assembly with short and long reads produced two near complete Synechococcus metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). Quantitative metagenome-derived abundances of these populations matched well with flow cytometry counts, and the Synechococcus MAGs were estimated to comprise >99% of the Synechococcus at Station P. Whereas the Station P Synechococcus MAGs contained multiple genes for adaptation to iron limitation, both genomes lacked genes for uptake and assimilation of nitrate and nitrite, suggesting a dependence on ammonium, urea, and other forms of recycled nitrogen leading to reduced iron requirements. A global analysis of Synechococcus nitrate reductase abundance in the TARA Oceans dataset found nitrate assimilation genes are also lower in other HNLC regions. We propose that nitrate and nitrite assimilation gene loss in Synechococcus may represent an adaptation to severe iron limitation in high-latitude regions where ammonium availability is higher. Our findings have implications for models that quantify the contribution of cyanobacteria to primary production and subsequent carbon export.

Abstract The iron (Fe) supply to phytoplankton communities in the Southern Ocean surface exerts a strong control on oceanic carbon storage and global climate. Hydrothermal vents are one potential Fe source to this region, but it is not known whether hydrothermal Fe persists in seawater long enough to reach the surface before it is removed by particle scavenging. A new study (Jenkins, 2020,
https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GL087266 ) fills an important gap in this puzzle: a helium‐3 mass balance model is used to show that it takes ~100 yr for deep hydrothermally influenced waters to upwell to the surface around Antarctica. However, estimates of Fe scavenging time scales range from tens to hundreds of years and must be more narrowly constrained to fully resolve the role of hydrothermal Fe in the ocean's biological pump.
