Abstract
Net and anthropogenic CO 2 exchange in the Pacific represents a major contribution to the global CO 2 sink. The Pacific is thought to have turned to a net sink of CO 2 that is growing primarily due to the increasing uptake of anthropogenic CO 2. The equatorial region is key in determining net and anthropogenic CO 2 uptakes and their trends and variability in the Pacific.08 Nov 2024Submitted to ESS Open Archive 09 Nov 2024Published in ESS Open Archive
