  abstract = {{T}he shallow overturning circulation of the oceans transports heat from the tropics to the mid-latitudes. {T}his overturning also influences the uptake and storage of anthropogenic carbon ({C}ant). {W}e demonstrate this by quantifying the relative importance of ocean thermodynamics, circulation and biogeochemistry in a global biochemistry and circulation model. {A}lmost 2/3 of the {C}ant ocean uptake enters via gas exchange in waters that are lighter than the base of the ventilated thermocline. {H}owever, almost 2/3 of the excess {C}ant is stored below the thermocline. {O}ur analysis shows that subtropical waters are a dominant component in the formation of subpolar waters and that these water masses essentially form a common {C}ant reservoir. {T}his new method developed and presented here is intrinsically {L}agrangian, as it by construction only considers the velocity or transport of waters across isopycnals. {M}ore generally, our approach provides an integral framework for linking ocean thermodynamics with biogeochemistry.},
