The prevailing hypothesis for lower atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) concentrations during glacial periods is an increased efficiency of the ocean's biological pump. However, tests of this and other hypotheses have been hampered by the difficulty to accurately quantify ocean carbon components. Here, we use an observationally constrained earth system model to precisely quantify these components and the role that different processes play in simulated glacial-interglacial CO<sub>2</sub> ...[more]
