Abstract

Based on the 2019 assessment of the Global Carbon Project, the ocean took up on average, 2.5+/-0.6PgCyr-1 or 23+/-5% of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions over the decade 2009-2018. This sink estimate is based on global ocean biogeochemical models (GOBMs) and is compared to data-products based on...
