Model global estimates of the terms in Eq. 8. Integrals in Eq. 8 are performed cumulating from .

The difference between the red and the light-blue curve illustrates the importance of processes other than the air-sea fluxes setting the inventory. Additionally, the yellow curve represents the air-sea fluxes minus the diapycnal transports of C_ant in the MWML (Fig. 6b; Eq. 8) while the orange curve represents the air-sea fluxes minus the total diapycnal transports (first and last terms in Eq. 8). The difference between the latter and the inventory is due to diffusive C_ant fluxes.
