Abstract

The exchange of CO 2 between the atmosphere and the global coastal ocean was evaluated from a compilation of air‐water CO 2 fluxes scaled using a spatially‐explicit global typology of inner estuaries (excluding outer estuaries such as large river deltas) and continental shelves. The computed emission of CO 2 to the atmosphere from estuaries (+0.27 ± 0.23 PgC yr−1) is ∼26% to ∼55% lower than previous estimates while the sink of atmospheric CO 2 over continental shelf seas (−0.21 ± 0.36 PgC yr−1) is at the low end of the range of previous estimates (−0.22 to −1.00 PgC yr−1). The air‐sea CO 2 flux per surface area over continental shelf seas (−0.7 ± 1.2 molC m−2 yr −1) is the double of the value in the open ocean based on the most recent CO 2 climatology. The largest uncertainty of scaling approaches remains in the availability of CO 2 data to describe the spatial variability, and to capture relevant temporal scales of variability.

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.
