Abstract:The seasonal cycle is the dominant mode of variability in the air-sea CO 2 flux in most regions of the global ocean, yet discrepancies between different seasonality estimates are rather large.As part of the Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes phase 2 project (RECCAP2), we synthesize surface ocean pCO 2 and air-sea CO 2 flux seasonality from models and observation-based estimates, focusing on both a modern climatology and decadal changes between the 1980s and 2010s. Four main findings emerge: First, … Show more
