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).

The first is to emphasize your point that degassing of CO2 from the oceans is not simply a matter of warmer

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

water upwelling can cool the atmosphere relative to the long term trend.
The positive correlation indicates that the ocean outgasses CO2 compared to its mean state when the SAM is positive, i.e. when the winds are intensified South of 45ºS (20), and suggests that wind - driven
upwelling and associated ventilation of the sub-surface
waters rich
in carbon dominates the variability
in CO2 flux (18).
For a rough estimate, downwelling
water to the deep ocean
in convection zones is about 40 Sv (10 ^ 6 m3 / s), assuming that comes
in with say 2 deg C, and leaves (through
upwelling, isopycnal and diapycnal diffusion), that is a heat flux of 320 TW, thus at least an order of magnitude larger than the geothermal fluxes.
Marine biological activity then transfers a bit more C to the deep ocean than cold,
upwelling waters bring back up, such that the net sink to the deep ocean is about 1.6 GtC / yr, and much slower permanent removal
in sediments.
