Ocean soaks up more carbon than previously estimated – News Landed
The researchers used satellite data to correct for these temperature differences and found a 10% uptake in the carbon flux by oceans.
Carbon dioxide accounts for almost 80% of our greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Oceans and vegetations soak up a part of this carbon dioxide, and this phenomenon of carbon movement is known as flux.
Ocean temperatures slightly differ from the surface to depths of few meters below. However, previous carbon flux estimates have not accounted for this temperature difference, which plays a vital role in carbon dioxide solubility. A new study, led by the University of Exeter, factors in t…
