European continental shelf as a significant sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide
Open accessAbstract
The concentration of carbon dioxide was measured during 18 cruises in the surface waters of the North Atlantic European Shelf (Galician sea, Gulf of Biscay, Armonican Sea, Celtic Sea, English Channel, North Sea), covering all four seasons (9 out of 12 months) at interannual scale. This is the very first intensive field study of continental shelves, in terms of source/sink for atmospheric CO 2, which allows to integrate fluxes on an annual basis and over a large surface area. Here we show that European continental shelves are a sink of 90–170 million tons of carbon per year, which is an additional appreciable fraction to the presently proposed flux for the open North Atlantic Ocean (∼ 45%). The air‐sea fluxes of CO 2 we obtained are similar to those recently reported in the East China Sea, allowing us to conclude that the coastal ocean plays a considerable role in the global oceanic carbon cycle.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
