The passage around this formula

GCMs, when run with an interactive carbon cycle rather than a prescribed concentration, attempt to simulate FoceanF_{\text{ocean}} and FlandF_{\text{land}} from first-principles biogeochemistry — ocean carbonate chemistry, marine biological production, terrestrial photosynthesis and respiration — so that the partitioning between atmosphere, ocean and land emerges from the model rather than being read off an ice core. This is the only…
