Variability and trends in surface seawater pCO2 and CO2 flux in the Pacific Ocean Kurishio Extension Observatory mooring. (Credit: NOAA) High-resolution moored time series of sea-air CO2 flux reveal seasonal to decadal variability influences detection of anthropogenic trends, according to CPO-supported paper published in Geophysical Research Letther. This study on partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) […]

A reconstruction of the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation A study published in Geophysical Research Letters shows that observed sea surface temperature could help study variability of the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and its impacts on climate and extreme weather.  Researchers emphasized the importance of sustaining and combining ocean observing platforms with satellite observations.  This study
