Introduction



There are two documents contained here.  One is a text material (2003GL018970-text.txt) that discusses the assignment of uncertainty for CFC and anthropogenic carbon inventories and describes the definitions of the water masses referred to in the paper.  The second is a table document (2003GL018970-table.ps) that summarizes the salient features of the models that are participating in the Ocean Carbon-Cycle Model Intercomparison Project (OCMIP).



1. 2003GL018970-text.txt.

Text material describes the uncertainty of assigned inventories of CFC-11 and anthropogenic carbon.  It also defines water masses used in the main paper.



2. 2003GL018970-table.ps

A table that summarizes the important aspects of OCMIP models.
