Anomalies of pH, mixed layer depth, and salinity

Anomalies of pH, mixed layer depth, and salinity. Adapted from Dore et al. 2009, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106:12235. What happened to salinity starting in 2007-2008? Strong La Nina, but we had that in 1999-2001. Greater depth of penetration implies large spatial scale of forcing.

  1. Anomalies of pH, mixed layer depth, and salinity Adapted from Dore et al. 2009, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106:12235

  2. What happened to salinity starting in 2007-2008? Strong La Nina, but we had that in 1999-2001. Greater depth of penetration implies large spatial scale of forcing

  3. WHOTS Mooring Documents Upper Ocean Stratification Reduction From Salinity Trend

  4. 0.16/decade 0.4 °C/decade 0.1 kg m-3/decade Station ALOHA 20-year trends • Warming over much of upper ocean (x 275-350 m) • Peak warming 150-200 m (Smax), not surface • Salinity increasing in upper 200 m • Density increasing in upper 100 m • Stratification ↓ in upper ocean
