Abstract
A three-dimensional model of global biogeochemical cycles (HAMOCC3) is used to discuss potential explanations for apparent observed deviatio ns from a basin-wide Redfield ratio. Two examples are given in which m odel information can be taken to close the gaps of incomplete measurem ents or data analyses. A third example illustrates how the apparent co variation between phosphate and alkalinity is created by the circulati on.
