Freshening of the western Arctic negates anthropogenic carbon uptake potential

RJ Woosley, FJ Millero - Limnology and Oceanography, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
As human activities increase the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), the
oceans are known to absorb a significant portion. The Arctic Ocean has long been …

The Changing CO2 Sink in the Western Arctic Ocean From 1994 to 2019

Z Ouyang, Y Li, D Qi, W Zhong, A Murata… - Global …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Arctic Ocean has turned from a perennial ice‐covered ocean into a seasonally
ice‐free ocean in recent decades. Such a shift in the air‐ice‐sea interface has resulted in …

The Ocean CO2 Sink in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago: A Present‐Day Budget and Past Trends Due to Climate Change

M Ahmed, BGT Else - Geophysical research letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Arctic shelf seas are highly heterogeneous, making it difficult to accurately account for their
role in regional and global air‐sea CO2 exchange budgets. Here we estimate the CO2 sink …

[HTML][HTML] Enhancement of the North Atlantic CO sink by Arctic Waters

J Olafsson, SR Olafsdottir, T Takahashi… - …, 2021 - bg.copernicus.org
Abstract The North Atlantic north of 50∘ N is one of the most intense ocean sink areas for
atmospheric CO 2 considering the flux per unit area, 0.27 Pg-C yr-1, equivalent to-2.5 mol C …

Changes in the Arctic Ocean carbon cycle with diminishing ice cover

M DeGrandpre, W Evans… - Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Less than three decades ago only a small fraction of the Arctic Ocean (AO) was ice free and
then only for short periods. The ice cover kept sea surface pCO2 at levels lower relative to …

Arctic carbon cycling

TR Christensen, S Rysgaard, J Bendtsen… - Snow, water, ice and …, 2017 - research.vu.nl
The marine Arctic is considered a net carbon sink, with large regional differences in uptake
rates. More regional modelling and observational studies are required to reduce the …

An Assessment of CO2 Uptake in the Arctic Ocean From 1985 to 2018

S Yasunaka, M Manizza, J Terhaar… - Global …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
As a contribution to the Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes phase 2
(RECCAP2) project, we present synthesized estimates of Arctic Ocean sea‐air CO2 fluxes …

The ocean carbon cycle in the western Arctic Ocean: Distributions and air-sea fluxes of carbon dioxide

NR Bates, WJ Cai, JT Mathis - Oceanography, 2011 - JSTOR
ABSTRACT The Arctic Ocean is a potentially important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide
(CO₂) with a recent estimate suggesting that the region contributes from 5 to 14% of the …

Arctic carbon cycle: Patterns, impacts and possible changes

A Olsen, LG Anderson, C Heinze - The New Arctic, 2015 - Springer
Land and ocean uptake and release of carbon dioxide and methane play important roles for
regulating their atmospheric concentrations. For example, over the industrialised period the …

Sea-ice loss amplifies summertime decadal CO2 increase in the western Arctic Ocean

Z Ouyang, D Qi, L Chen, T Takahashi, W Zhong… - Nature Climate …, 2020 - nature.com
Rapid climate warming and sea-ice loss have induced major changes in the sea surface
partial pressure of CO2 (p CO 2). However, the long-term trends in the western Arctic Ocean …
