To model the solubility pump, we need to include the exchange of CO<sub>2</sub> between the ocean and atmosphere, the conservative transport of DIC through the ocean interior, and the speciation of DIC in the surface ocean.
```

### 1. The Atmosphere

We will model the atmosphere as a single, well-mixed box that overlies both surface ocean boxes.

To model the solubility pump, we need to include the conservative transport of a nutrient through the ocean boxes to fuel biological productivity. We then need to paramterise the production of organic matter in the surface ocean, which takes up DIC and nutrients and exports them to the deep ocean.
```

### Adding a nutrient

For our model we will use Phosphate (PO<sub>4</sub>) as our limiting nutrient.

## Modelling the Carbonate Pump

To model the carbonate pump, we need to include the production of CaCO<sub>3<sub> by biological life, which takes up DIC and TA in the surface ocean and exports it to the deep ocean.
```

Calcification is biologically-mediated, and takes up CO<sub>3</sub><sup>-2</sup> from the surface ocean and exports it to the deep.
We will therefore model calcification as a function of biological productivity in the surface ocean, assuming that some fraction of biological carbon export ($f_{calc}$) is accompanied by calcification:
