The oceans play a pivotal role in mitigating climate change by sequestering approximately 25% of annually emitted anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). High-latitude oceans, especially the Arctic continental shelves, emerge as crucial CO2 sinks due to their cold, low saline, and highly productive ecosystems. However, these heterogeneous regions remain inadequately understood, hindering accurate assessments of their carbon dynamics. This study investigates variation in pCO2 levels during peak ice sheet melt, in the Greenland coastal ocean and estimates rates of air-sea exchange across 6° of latitude. The East and West coast of Greenland displayed distinct regions with unique controlling factors. Though, both coasts represent CO2 sinks in summer. Geographical variation in pCO2 and air-sea exchange was linked intricately to freshwater export from the Greenland ice sheet and levels of primary production in these ecosystems. CO2 uptake ranged from 0.17 to -38 mmol m-2 day-1. However, we found that flux estimation faces substantial uncertainties (up to 770%) due to wind product averaging and gas exchange formula selection. Despite these considerations, we report a first order estimate that Greenland coastal ocean takes up -9.5 ± 9.0 Tg C year-1, corresponding to nearly 4% of global coastal CO2 uptake. Obtaining a reliable assessment of air-sea CO2 exchange necessitates data collection across seasons, and, even more so, refinement of the gas transfer velocity estimations in the Arctic coastal zone.
