Consistency and Challenges in the Ocean Carbon Sink Estimate for the Global Carbon Budget

Consistency and Challenges in the Ocean Carbon Sink Estimate for the Global Carbon Budget

Based on the 2019 assessment of the Global Carbon Project, the ocean took up on average, 2.5 ± 0.6 PgC yr−1 or 23 ± 5% of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions over the decade 2009–2018. This sink estimate is based on simulation results from global ocean biogeochemical models (GOBMs) and is compared...
