The project aims to improve the understanding and forecasting of ocean carbon dioxide uptake, focusing on the transition from high to low emissions. It develops a comprehensive model that integrates coastal and open ocean processes to quantify and characterize the ocean's role in mitigating climate change.
Atmospheric CO2 levels are 49% above preindustrial levels due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
The ocean takes up ~25% of these emissions and thereby mitigates climate change.
The Global Carbon Budget annually quantifies the atmospheric CO2 sources (emissions) and sinks (e.g. ocean uptake), and I coordinate its ocean CO2 sink estimate.
The uncertainty of the ocean sink estimate is huge:
The range of estimates is 2.5 times larger than the CO2 emissions of the EU27.
It is unknown whether the ocean…
