Abstract

We estimated a weakening of the Southern Ocean carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sink since 1981 relative to the trend expected from the large increase in atmospheric CO 2 . We agree with Law et al . that network choice increases the uncertainty of trend estimates but argue that their network of five locations is too small to be reliable. A future reversal of Southern Ocean CO 2 saturation as suggested by Zickfeld et al . is possible, but only at high atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, and the effect would be temporary.

4. We further tested the robustness of our inversion by imposing an increasing CO 2 sink as prior constraint. The inversion still produced a saturating sink when used with our set of 11 atmospheric observing stations.

5. Stations were excluded primarily when they showed large gaps in the data records.
