The intimate connection between the North Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean suggests that the variability of the CO<sub>2</sub> system of the North Atlantic Ocean may, in part, be responsible for the observed variability of pH and CO<sub>2</sub> in the North Sea. In this work, we demonstrate the role of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the dominant climate mode for the North Atlantic, in governing this variability. Based on three extensive observational records covering the relevant levels of the NAO index, we provide evidence that the North Sea pH and CO<sub>2</sub> system strongly responds to external and internal expressions of the NAO. Under positive NAO, the higher rates of inflow of water from the North Atlantic Ocean and the Baltic outflow lead to a strengthened north-south biogeochemical divide. The limited mixing between the north and south leads to a steeper gradient in pH and partial pressure of CO<sub>2</sub> (pCO<sub>2</sub>) between the two regions in the productive period. This is exacerbated further when coinciding with higher sea surface temperature, which concentrates the net community production in the north through shallower stratification. These effects can be obscured by changing properties of the constituent North Sea water masses, which are also influenced by NAO. Our results highlight the importance of examining interannual trends in the North Sea CO<sub>2</sub> system with consideration of the NAO state.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Variability of North Sea pH and CO<sub>2</sub> in response to North Atlantic Oscillation forcing","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-22 01:31:46.525207","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"    carbon;     North Sea;     NAO;     pH","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2013,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2016-06-12","DateCreate":"2014-04-01","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000329871400020","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1002/2013JG002306"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":234578,"PubliDate":2013,"Pagination":"1584-1592","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"Biogeosciences; 118","Issue":"4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":90908,"SerRR":"Journal of Geophysical Research.
