Robust Conclusions from Sensitivity Experiments: Refining POC Flux Analysis

Our conclusions retain their robustness even after conducting sensitivity experiments, although we acknowledge that the amplitude of POC flux change may be somewhat influenced by both the intensity of the RLM forcing and the mean state of the model. Accordingly, we consistently opt for the outcomes of the sensitivity experiment featuring the lowest intensity of forcing within the same mode, which we shall now expound upon in greater detail.
