| Abstract: | New radiocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon-11 data
from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment are used
to assess a suite of 19 ocean carbon cycle models. We use
the distributions and inventories of these tracers as
quantitative metrics of model skill and find that only
about a quarter of the suite is consistent with the new databased
metrics. This should serve as a warning bell to the
larger community that not all is well with current
generation of ocean carbon cycle models. At the same
time, this highlights the danger in simply using
the available models to represent the state-of-the-art
modeling without considering the credibility of each
model. |
