Abstract. Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate – “global budget” is important to better understand global cycle, support development policies, project future change. Here we describe synthesize data sets methodology quantify five major components budget uncertainties. Fossil CO2 (EFOS) are based on energy statistics cement production data, while from land-use...

Abstract We present a new observation‐based estimate of the global oceanic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) sink and its temporal variation on monthly basis from 1998 through 2011 at spatial resolution 1°×1°. This rests upon neural network‐based mapping surface ocean observations partial pressure CO ( p Surface Ocean Atlas database. The resulting has small biases when evaluated against independent in different basins, but larger randomly distributed differences exist particularly high latitudes....
Abstract We investigate the variations of ocean CO 2 sink during past three decades using global surface maps partial pressure reconstructed from observations contained in Surface Ocean Atlas Version 2. To create these maps, we used neural network‐based data interpolation method Landschützer et al. (2014) but extended work time 1998 to 2011 period 1982 through 2011. Our results suggest strong decadal carbon around a long‐term increase that corresponds roughly expected rise atmospheric . The...
Several studies have suggested that the carbon sink in Southern Ocean-the ocean's strongest region for uptake of anthropogenic CO2 -has weakened recent decades. We demonstrated, on basis multidecadal analyses surface ocean observations, this weakening trend stopped around 2002, and by 2012, Ocean had regained its expected strength based growth atmospheric CO2. All three sectors contributed to reinvigoration sink, yet differences processes between exist, related a tendency toward zonally more...
Based on the 2019 assessment of Global Carbon Project, ocean took up average, 2.5+/-0.6PgCyr-1 or 23+/-5% total anthropogenic CO2 emissions over decade 2009-2018. This sink estimate is based global biogeochemical models (GOBMs) and compared to data-products surface pCO2 (partial pressure CO2) observations accounting for outgassing river-derived CO2. Here we evaluate GOBM simulations by comparing simulated observations. The are well suited quantifying carbon time-scale annual mean its...
Abstract. The Atlantic Ocean is one of the most important sinks for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), but this sink has been shown to vary substantially in time. Here we use surface ocean CO2 observations estimate and temporal variability from 1998 through 2007 Ocean. We benefit (i) a continuous improvement observations, i.e. Surface Atlas (SOCAT) v1.5 database (ii) newly developed technique interpolate space In particular, two-step neural network approach reconstruct basin-wide monthly maps...
Abstract The ocean is a sink for ~25% of the atmospheric CO 2 emitted by human activities, an amount in excess petagrams carbon per year (PgC yr −1 ). Time-resolved estimates global ocean-atmosphere flux provide important constraint on budget. However, previous this flux, derived from surface concentrations, have not corrected data temperature gradients between and sampling at few meters depth, or effect cool skin. Here we calculate time history fluxes 1992 to 2018, these effects. These...
Abstract. Using measurements of the surface-ocean CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and 14 different pCO2 mapping methods recently collated by Surface Ocean Mapping intercomparison (SOCOM) initiative, variations in regional global sea–air fluxes are investigated. Though available use widely approaches, we find relatively consistent estimates seasonality, line with previous estimates. In terms interannual variability (IAV), all estimate largest to occur eastern equatorial Pacific. Despite...
Abstract. A well-documented, publicly available, global data set of surface ocean carbon dioxide (CO2) parameters has been called for by international groups nearly two decades. The Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) project was initiated the marine science community in 2007 with aim providing a comprehensive, regularly updated, CO2, which had subject to quality control (QC). Many additional data, not yet made public via Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC), were retrieved from...
Abstract New estimates of p CO 2 from profiling floats deployed by the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations Modeling (SOCCOM) project have demonstrated importance wintertime outgassing south Polar Front, challenging accepted magnitude carbon uptake (Gray et al., 2018, https://doi:10.1029/2018GL078013 ). Here, we put 3.5 years SOCCOM observations into broader context with global surface dioxide database (Surface Atlas, SOCAT) using two interpolation methods currently used to assess...
Measurements show large decadal variability in the rate of [Formula: see text] accumulation atmosphere that is not driven by emissions. The decade 1990s experienced enhanced carbon relative to emissions, while 2000s, atmospheric growth slowed, even though emissions grew rapidly. These variations are natural sources and sinks due ocean terrestrial biosphere. In this study, we compare three independent methods for estimating oceanic uptake find sink could be responsible up 40% observed...
Abstract Reducing uncertainty in the global carbon budget requires better quantification of ocean CO 2 uptake and its temporal variability. Several methodologies for reconstructing air‐sea exchange from pCO observations indicate larger decadal variability than estimated using models. We develop a new application multiple Large Ensemble Earth system models to assess these reconstructions' ability estimate spatiotemporal With our Testbed, fields 25 ensemble members each four independent are...
