Salinity measurements in the Southern Ocean are key to reduce uncertainty in projections of future Southern Ocean carbon uptake
April 29, 2021

The Southern Ocean is the largest oceanic sink for human-made carbon dioxide. New research supported by 4C reduces the uncertainty about how much human-made carbon dioxide can be absorbed by the Southern Ocean, by 50 percent.
