11 R² = R² = Interannual variability in NPP Southern Ocean Arctic Ocean Mean = 1825 Tg C yr -1 Mean = 524 Tg C yr -1 Low interannual variability (CV = 4%) High interannual variability (CV = 11%) No significant change over time Significant 3% increase since Annual NPP (Tg C)

15 Interannual variability in NPP The exceptions are the continental shelves Ross Sea Continental Shelf Annual NPP (Tg C) R² = Open Water Area (km 2 ) The amount of ice cover is very important (Just like in the Arctic Ocean - which has a large shelf area) 15
16 Interannual variability in NPP Shelves are also the most variable Coefficient of Variation Pelagic Shelf Weddell Sea 12% 5% South Indian Ocean 6% 36% Southwest Pacific Ocean 6% 4% Ross Sea 7% 34% Bellingshausen-Amundsen Sea 5% 34% 16
17 Controls on NPP Pelagic Southern Ocean NPP largely limited by iron availability Evidenced by numerous ocean fertilization experiments What about continental shelves? Boyd et al. (212) 17
18 Controls on NPP Shelves are more light-limited than pelagic Southern Ocean More sensitive to variations in ice cover Shelves have higher Fe concentrations more Fe sources Circumpolar Sediments (CDW) Smith et al. (212) 18

25 Ross Sea Shelf and pelagic respond differently to SAM Retreat (DJF) Advance (MAM) +SAM L L Earlier Later 25
26 Ross Sea Stronger southerly winds blow ice off shelf when SAM is more positive Winds are cold so ice doesn t melt and it piles up in pelagic Open Water Area (1 5 km 2 ) Shelf R 2 =.36 p= Pelagic R 2 =.31 p= SAM (Oct-Mar) 26
27 Ross Sea Primary Production (Tg C) NPP (Tg C yr -1 ) Primary Production (Tg C) NPP (Tg C yr -1 ) R 2 =.32 p= SAM (Oct-Mar) R 2 =.85 p<.1 SAM (Oct-Mar) NPP on the shelf significantly correlated with SAM Higher NPP when SAM is more positive Due to: Strong relationship between open water area and NPP Open Water Area (1 5 km 2 ) Open water area (1 5 km 2 ) Less ice = More NPP 27
28 Ross Sea Response to Fe? Iron limits phytoplankton growth in Ross Sea Especially at high temperature Rose et al. (29) 28
29 Ross Sea Response to Fe? Diatoms come to dominate community Phaeocystis antarctica declines, especially at high temperature Are only diatoms Felimited? 19 Hex/Chl a Fuco/Chl a Rose et al. (29) T control High Fe High Temp High Both 29
30 Ross Sea Response to Fe? Diatoms respond strongly to Fe addition at both high and low light Phaeocystis did not respond to Fe additions Apparently, only diatoms are Felimited in Ross Sea There is no impact of CO 2 concentration Feng et al. (21) 3

51 Conclusions Southern Ocean a source of CO 2 to the atmosphere during interglacials Not clear if this applies to anthropogenic warming conditions (e.g., today) Little interannual variation in NPP in pelagic Southern Ocean Largest changes in NPP and biggest CO 2 sinks are on shelves Positive SAMs are becoming more common Increases ice cover in pelagic Ross Sea Decreases ice cover in pelagic Amundsen Sea Very small net change in annual NPP Decreases ice cover on Ross Sea shelf Large increase in annual NPP 51
52 Conclusions Shelves likely to experience largest NPP changes due to anthropogenic warming More positive SAM will reduce ice cover on Ross Sea shelf And other shelves as well NPP likely to rise More glacial melt will increase Fe input into shelf waters Already large sinks for CO 2 May increase NPP in Fe-limited shelf regions Phytoplankton community composition could change Diatoms dominate pelagic likely to continue Warmer temperatures and additional Fe could favor diatoms on shelves Would reduce efficiency of biological pump But Pine Island Bay experiences high Fe and Phaeocystis dominates 52
