It is common in model intercomparisons that relatively good agreement is obtained for the major species NOx and 03 but the discrepancies can be larger for trace species such as HCHO and H202. This can be...

CO2. Underlying all these is a model of the physical circulation of the ocean, usually arising from an ocean general circulation model. Three such estimates of the air-sea carbon flux are shown in Figure 1. The estimates are taken from the Ocean Carbon Model Intercomparison (OCMIP) (Orr, 1997). 

Figure 2 Model-intercomparison study reported by Orr in 2004 showing fraction of CO2, injected from 2000 through 2100, that remains isolated from the atmosphere as a function of time and injection depth. Results are averaged over seven injection locations. Most of the CO2 that does interact with the atmosphere remains in the ocean (see Table 1), so the amount of CO2 remaining in the ocean is much greater than shown here.
