The global Carbon Cycle describes the distribution to this reservoirs and the fluxes between them.

Instead of water is moving along the horizontal pressure gradient (from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure) water moves at right angle to it parallel to the isobars. In the Northern Hemisphere, water flows with the high pressure to the right to it; in the Southern Hemisphere, water flows with the high pressure … text/html 2020-10-15T16:13:48+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://oceanwiki.ethz.ch/doku.php?id=lecture5:tracer&rev=1602778428&do=diff Global Ocean Circulation Tracer Author: Hannah Wey, Marja Gächter Six different tracers are presented here: Temperature, salinity, the CFC, the C14 and the anthropogenic CO2-method that were discussed in the lecture, and additionally the “friendly Floatees”.
