  5. fCO2 (matm) fCO2 (matm)

  6. IF fCO2(max) corresponds with T(max) (WARMER SEASON) THEN DfCO2 is positive Following Takahashi et al., 2002 DfCO2 negative: strong biological drawdown, increase of fCO2 due to vertical mixing with low temperature seawater DfCO2 positive: warm periods fCO2 values greater than the cold ones. Seasonal temperature changes account for more than 50% of the seasonal fCO2 changes

  7. To remove temperature effect from the observed fCO2, values were normalized to the mean annual T To remove temperature changes on fCO2, mean annual fCO2 values were perturbated

  8. Relative importance of the biology and temperature effects T/B > 1 or (T-B) > 0 Temperature effects exceeds the biology effect
