Carbon System Controls on CO2 in the Glacial Atmosphere
qAmong the changes in the distribution of ocean carbon that could reduce glacial levels of atmospheric CO2 are:
q      (1) fast downward organic carbon pumping in areas of costal or tropical upwelling,
q      (2) similar processes in Antarctic,
q      (3) changes in the chemistry of Antarctic surface water toward higher CO3-2 content,
q      (4) changes in the chemistry of shallow subsurface water originating from southern latitudes.
