Ocean limited upwelling considerations for global warming

[Ken123]

knowing global warming is limiting ocean upwelling thus plankton blooms, how much upwelling has been limited in the past and more important how much this limited upwelling has contributed to limited plankton blooms thus contributed to global warming?

If limited upwelling has great impact to global warming then considerations for mechanically drawing ocean water bottoms to the top should be actively explored.

 

There is about 10% CO2 removal from the atmosphere by way of new plankton blooms from iron fertilization but may have higher atmosphere CO2 affect because of the upwelling concern.

One year carbon tax pays for 10 ocean bottoms pumping systems magnitude

cost $2 Billion(TBD).

A carbon tax of $2.2 Billion /Yr = 180 MM tones of LPG Global Carbon produced /Yr

Seems like there will be more upwelling from global warming.

 

Three articles about ocean upwelling in conflict.

 

Article 1 shows more upwelling from global warming but article 2, I posted a few days, shows less upwelling. The article 2 link worked then but does not work now. Found the article by searching a phrase in the article and is a dead link.

The #1 type information may have brought about the #2 article being closed. Article 1 reference is 2015 but did not get article 2 date because of the dead link. Article 3 2015 backs up article 1 in terms of global warming will increase upwelling.

 

Article 1

...Ecosystem productivity in coastal ocean upwelling systems is threatened by climate change. Increases in spring and summer upwelling intensity, and associated increases in the rate of offshore advection, are expected. While this could counter effects of habitat warming, it could also lead to more frequent hypoxic events and lower densities of suitable-sized food particles for fish larvae. With upwelling intensification, ocean acidity will rise, affecting organisms with carbonate structures. Regardless of changes in upwelling, near-surface stratification, turbulent diffusion rates, source water origins, and perhaps thermocline depths associated with large-scale climate episodes (ENSO) maybe affected. Major impacts on pelagic fish resources appear unlikely unless couples with overfishing, although changes toward more subtropical community composition are likely. Marine mammals and seabirds that are tied to sparsely distributed nesting or resting grounds could experience difficulties in obtaining prey resources, or adaptively respond by moving to more favorable biogeographic provinces...

Upwelling and trade winds < Batture > 2016-12-30 16:54

..How will global warming affect upwelling and coastal productivity? The strong dependency of upwelling processes on the strength of trade winds contains one hint. Remember that trade winds are zonal winds, which feed off the latitudinal temperature gradient. As this gradient weakens (high latitudes being warmed more than low, in all computer simulations), zonal flow will weaken. Monsoons, as we have seen, would be favored over trades. Thus, the upwelling that derives its energy from trade winds will weaken. Indeed, off California, upwelling of cold water has become less common since 1975, and the productivity of the California Current has diminished accordingly.

A comparison of phytoplankton concentration during upwelling periods off the coast of Peru: (A) 1983, a severe El Niño and (B) 1985, a non-El Niño period. Note how much smaller the bloom (circled) is during El Niño conditions, when nutrient upwelling ceases. The color key needed to read the phytoplankton concentrations is the same as that in the above satellite image. (From: NASA)

A similar decrease in productivity may be expected elsewhere in the eastern boundary currents, and in the eastern equatorial high production regions. Upwelling that depends on monsoon activity (as in the Arabian Sea) should be much less effected, or even benefit from the change....

Competition between global warming Earth's energy

 

...A collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) leads to global cooling through fast feedbacks that selectively amplify the response in the Northern Hemisphere (NH). How such cooling competes with global warming has long been a topic for speculation, but was never addressed using a climate model. Here it is shown that global cooling due to a collapsing AMOC obliterates global warming for a period of 15–20 years...

I may have posted incorrectly. Looked up blog definition and my post need to be in a blog. Will take time to see what post should be published on the forum.
