Table 4. Total (SNO) and biological (SNOB) seasonal net outgassing (x 1014 mol O2) based on the weighted global regression coefficients for the ice-free surface oceanic domain. Atmospheric calibrated values for this work were calculated by multiplying the O2 fluxes poleward of 30° latitude by 1.09 and 0.97 in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres according to the scaling factors listed in Table 3. We also list the SNOB values of Najjar and Keeling [2000; thereafter in the table as NK00]. To obtain atmospheric calibrated values, Najjar and Keeling [2000] multiplied their O2 flux data poleward of 30° latitude by 1.15 and 1.23 in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres according to the scaling factors listed in Table 3.
