Re: Air Ocean CO2 Exchange

I wonder if you mightn't say what most interested you, because my coffee break ended before I even got through the Abstract.

There is debate on weather CO2 leads or lags temperature. Some people think that the earth is complex and thus we cannot understand what is going on. I believe the lag of CO2 from temperature is simply the consequence that the ocean can absorb more CO2 when it is colder. I haven’t read the paper but I skimmed though it and it looked like the kind of model that I thought was essential in understanding the relationship between CO2 and temperature. I am very skeptical of computer models. I like the model presented in the paper because it is analytical and I think closed form models are very helpful in understanding physical phenomenon. If people are interested I can read the paper and state what points I think are the most interesting and relevant.
