The first is to emphasize your point that degassing of CO2 from the oceans is not simply a matter of warmer water reducing CO2 solubility, and that important additional factors include changes in wind patterns, reduction in sea ice cover to reveal a larger surface for gas escape, and upwelling of CO2 from depths consequent to the changing climate patterns.

In general, the regions of expanding warming upwelling water in the Indian Ocean, North Pacific, or wherever they are, must create slight bulges in the surface, and the regions of shrinking, cooling, sinking water in the Arctic must create slight depressions in the sea surface (again, I mean in a very low pass sense — obviously storms, tides, etc, create all kinds of short - terms signals obscuring this).

They suggested that the transient changes in El Nino (before the deeper water tapped by upwelling has warmed) may be different from the state of El Nino after the ocean has come into equilibrium.

The picture I gave neglects the effect of ocean dynamics — cooling by upwelled water entering the mixed layer and warming by imported warm water from the side.

Another aspect could be the upwelling of warm water going into the Arctic.

Now, you have less upwelling cold water to heat up, and you get more warming — as in El Nino (a la 1998).

Science 275: 957 - 960) have suggested that the upwelling of cold water in the Eastern Pacific provides a kind of thermostat which keeps the Eastern waters from warming as much as the Western warm pool waters.

Consenquently, the associated SST pattern is slightly cooler in the deep convection upwelling regions of the Equitorial Pacific and the Indian Ocean, strongly cooler in the nearest deep convection source region of the South Atlantic near Africa and the Equator, warm over the bulk of the North Atlantic, strongly warmer where the gulf stream loses the largest portion of its heat near 50N 25W, and strongly cooler near 45N 45W, which turns out to be a back - eddy of the Gulf Stream with increased transport of cold water from the north whenever the Gulf Stream is running quickly.

(Their result must be treated with some caution, since it doesn't enforce the top of atmosphere balance, and should disappear in the long term after the water tapped for upwelling begins to warm; still the idea has a lot of merit in the transient warming situation we are now in.).

Even in a time of global warming, an increase in ice sheet melting or deep water upwelling can cool the atmosphere relative to the long term trend.

Suggested mechanisms range from upwelling of warm deep waters onto the continental shelf in response to variations in the westerly winds, to an influence of El Niño — Southern Oscillation on sea surface temperatures.

At this point in time, the available evidence is indicating that the likely explanation for the fish kill is an algal bloom linked to warm gulf waters and nutrient upwelling.

It's up because the winds are back to normal, which means upwelling in the Eastern Pacific is diminished, and that warm water from the Western pacific is sloshing back toward South America, Latin American, and North America.

When the cold, upwelling water mingles with the surface, the warmer temperature will tend to move the equilibrium to the CaCO3 side of the solubility equation.

Could it be related to Dr. Curry's latest paper about the upwelling of warmer fresher water, so it freezes easier?

Today we witness global warming from heat ventilation during an El Nino and global cooling due to increased upwelling of cooler waters during La Ninas.

Let's see — a negative SAM --(http://curriculum.pmartineau.webfactional.com/monitoring-southern-hemisphere-stratospheric-vortex-fluctuations-and-tropospheric-coupling/)-- pushes cold water along the Peruvian Current to the Nino1 +2 zone dissipating the warm surface mixed layer and allowing cold subsurface upwelling.

This water rises in warmer regions through a process called upwelling.

A self sustaining upwelling in the central Pacific with twin Walker Cells pushing warm surface water both east and west.

If the upwelling water is warmer, that will result in more warming of the adjacent land.

Perhaps the water that is upwelling is just warming slower because of the all the clouds.

The persistent upwelling of cold water in the eastern tropical Pacific would have reduced cloud cover there, via reduced oceanic evaporation, and thus allowed more of the sun's energy to enter the tropical ocean - this would have aided the ocean warming process, as generally the case when the tropical ocean is cooler - than - normal.

Glaciers along the Amundsen Sea terminate in deep water, and are most susceptible to periodic upwelling of that warmer deep water, which causes basal melting.49, 50,51,52

The reason for this concentrated melting is due to the upwelling of relatively warm Circumpolar Deep Water that lurks 300 feet below the surface.

Sometimes the winds falter and warm water flows back eastward suppressing cold upwelling.

As warmer surface waters are carried away by this offshore ocean airflow, cold water from below the thermocline rises to the surface in a process called upwelling.

When the Walker circulation weakens or reverses, an El Niño results, causing the ocean surface to be warmer than average, as upwelling of cold water occurs less or not at all.

Upwelled CDW water can be cooled when modified by winter water, or remain warm when it directly accesses a glacier grounding point.

ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) variability is linked to the spinning up or down of the South Pacific gyre — as it brings more or less cold Southern Ocean water northward — along the Peruvian coast — to more or less displace warm surface water and initiate upwelling.

The cold sub-polar water displaces the warm surface layer nearer the equator and facilitates cold water upwelling on the eastern margin of the Pacific Ocean.

When the colder upwelled water spreads across the surface as in the PDO cold phase, the warmer surface water area is reduced and the warm water gets deeper.

This spins up sub-polar gyres pushing cold water into the Californian and Peruvian Currents — diluting warm surface water and biasing the system to more upwelling.

Warm water piled against Australia and Indonesia surges eastward deepening the thermocline on the eastern margin and inhibiting deep ocean upwelling.

La Nina commences in the east with upwelling causing feedbacks in wind and currents across the Pacific — piling warm water up against Australia and Indonesia.

When the trade winds falter — warm water piled high in the west surges eastward — ultimately increasing the depth of the thermocline on the eastern boundary and reducing upwelling.

The warming also could have led to sea level changes and upwellings of anoxic water.

In the case of El Niño, warm surface water approaches the coasts of South America which results in blocking the upwelling of nutrient - rich deep water.
