Atmospheric Transport Model (ATM) Uncertainty
Evaluation of oceanic O2 fluxes based on observed APO seasonal cycles or latitudinal gradient, e.g., Naegler et al. [2007]
Conclusion: These evaluations are difficult because shortcomings in ATMs and problems of data representativity cannot be distinguished from uncertainties in the O2 fluxes.

Conclusions1) Satellite ocean color data: uncertainties compounded in the sequence from Chl-a to NPP to Export Production.
2) Partitioning of net biological APO signal into surface production and deep ventilation: Atmospheric N 2O-based method, MIT ocean model and satellite ocean color data converge on similar answer.
3) Can now compare surface production signal in APO directly to export production from ocean color, but some major uncertainties:
1) Need for atmospheric transport model as intermediary 2) N2O cycle decomposition – thermal and stratospheric signals
