  2. Fig. 1 Schematic of human impacts on ocean biogeochemistry either directly via fluxes of material into the ocean (colored arrows) or indirectly via climate change and altered ocean circulation (black arrows). S C Doney Science 2010;328:1512-1516 Published by AAAS

  3. ACC = Antarctic Circumpolar Current (55°S) Westerly winds (50°S) above the ACC push cold fresh surface waters away to the north and draw up warmer, saltier water that is low in O2 and high in nutrients and CO2. Wind and ACC not aligned. Stronger winds drive more upwelling. The bands of westerly winds separate the warm air in the tropics from the cold air over the poles. Winds driven by mid-atmosphere temperature gradients. With warming these winds are shifting poleward to be more aligned with the ACC. Stratospheric ozone influences the temperature gradient. Removing O3 causes cooling. Toggweiler and Russell (2008) Nature 451, 286
