Process studies of the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide in the Atlantic Ocean

The burning of fossil fuel buming as well as the manufacturing of cement release large amounts of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Concern about the increasing atmospheric CO2-content (Keeling et al., 1989) and its expected consequence of global warming (Arrhenius, 1896; Houghton et al.,1996) have promoted research on the atmospheric budget of CO2. The oceans are estimated
to absorb roughly 33 percent or 2.0 + 0.8 Gt C yr-t (1 Gt C or 1015 g C) of the COz emitted by anthropogenic activity (Schimel et al., 1995). ...
