DECADAL CHANGES IN OCEAN CARBON UPTAKE

There
is growing evidence that the rate of anthropogenic CO2 uptake in the
ocean is changing over time. Several programs are poised to assess current and
future ocean CO2 uptake rates, but there are issues with how to
extrapolate these measurements to decadal-scale changes over entire ocean
basins. One possibility is to exploit the growing network of ARGO floats that
are collecting profiles throughout the global oceans. We explore the viability
of this approach and make recommendations for how the ARGO network might be
made more useful for biogeochemical applications.
