Sea-air CO₂ flux variability on the northeast Pacific continental margin

Creator:: Evans, Wiley
Abstract:: Carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes between the ocean and atmosphere on continental margins are difficult to diagnose because these regions experience large variability over spatial and temporal scales spanning meters to basins and hours to years, respectively. In a global sense, continental margins could represent a significant atmospheric CO₂ sink, equivalent...
