This study models post-fire stream dissolved organic carbon (DOC) dynamics by incorporating fire-altered terrestrial carbon pools. Using the 2021 Schneider Springs Fire in Washington, the coupled ELM-BGC and ATS-PFLOTRAN models show an orde…

Yuming Jin, Eric J. Morgan, Britton B. Stephens +2

This study uses the Ocean Circulation Inverse Model (OCIM) to quantify coupling coefficients between ocean heat, oxygen, and carbon fluxes, providing an independent constraint on climate-driven CO2 fluxes. From 2005-2024 observations, the n…
