| Ocean carbon uptake substantially reduces the rate of anthropogenic carbon accumulation in the atmosphere and thus slows global climate change. In the interest of understanding how this ocean carbon sink has responded to climate variability and climate change in recent decades, trends in globally observed surface ocean partial pressure of CO2 (pCO(2)(s.ocean)) are evaluated over 16 gyre-scale biomes covering the globe. pCO(2)(s.ocean) trends have been of variable magnitude and sensitive to the chosen start and end years. On longer time frames, several regions of the tropics and subtropics display pCO(2)(s.ocean) trends that are parallel to or shallower than trends in atmospheric pCO(2), consistent with the ocean's long-term response to carbon accumulation... |
