A first estimate of present and preindustrial air‐sea CO2 flux patterns based on ocean interior carbon measurements and models
Abstract
The exchange of CO 2 across the air‐sea interface is a main determinant of the distribution of atmospheric CO 2 from which major conclusions about the carbon cycle are drawn, yet our knowledge of atmosphere‐ocean fluxes still has major gaps. A new analysis based on recent ocean dissolved inorganic carbon data and on models permits us to separately estimate the preindustrial and present air‐sea CO 2 flux distributions without requiring knowledge of the gas exchange coefficient. We find a smaller carbon sink at mid to high latitudes of the southern hemisphere than previous data based estimates and a shift of ocean uptake to lower latitude regions compared to estimates and simulations. The total uptake of anthropogenic CO 2 for 1990 is 1.8 (±0.4) Pg C yr−1. Our ocean based results support the interpretation of the latitudinal distribution of atmospheric CO 2 data as evidence for a large northern hemisphere land carbon sink.

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.
