Ocean color data assimilation with material conservation for improving model estimates of air-sea CO2 flux

A nitrogen balancing scheme for ocean color data assimilation in general circulation models is described and its potential for improving air-seaCO2 flux estimates is demonstrated. Given increments for phytoplankton, obtainable from a univariate surface chlorophyll analysis, the scheme determines mix...
