Description:
This data set contains the age model and air-sea CO2 exchange tracer ([CO32-]as) of deep water core NEAP 4K and Intermediate water core GGC90. Seawater [CO32-]as is calculated following the approach in Yu et al. (2019). The Seawater [CO32-]as reconstructions at GGC90 are obtained based on [CO32-] and [PO43-] from Lacerra et al. (2019) and Umling et al. (2019), but these data have not yet been used to infer air-sea CO2 exchange histories. Importantly, building upon previous work (Lund et al., 2015), 23 new radiocarbon dates substantially improve the GGC90 age model. We present new deep-water [CO32-] and [PO43-] reconstructions at NEAP 4K using benthic foraminiferal B/Ca and Cd/Ca, respectively. The age model for NEAP 4K is based on 4 new and 13 published radiocarbon dates (Hall et al., 2004) and new Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sinistral) coiling ratios. Based on the novel approach to reconstruct upper Atlantic air-sea CO2 exchange signatures, we provide evidence for a net release of CO2 via the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, which contributes to the millennial atmospheric CO2 rise during Heinrich Stadial 1.
