Abstract:
A three-dimensional model of global biogeochemical cycles (HAMOCC3) is used to discuss potential explanations for apparent observed deviations from a basin-wide Redfield ratio. Two examples are given in which model information can be token to close the gaps of incomplete measurements or data analyses. A third example illustrates how the apparent covariation between phosphate and alkalinity is created by the circulation.
