The world’s oceans soak up more carbon than most scientific models suggest, according to new research.Previous estimates of the movement of carbon (known as “flux”) between the atmosphere and oceans have not accounted for temperature differences at the water’s surface and a few metres below.
The new study, led by the University of Exeter, includes this — and finds significantly higher net flux of carbon into the oceans.
