The importance of ocean transport in the fate of anthropogenic CO2 (original) (raw)
The study explores the crucial role of ocean transport in the sequestration of anthropogenic CO2, emphasizing the impact of marine biological processes and various model parameters on oceanic carbon uptake. Utilizing the GENIE16 model, the research assesses how alterations in parameters such as vertical diffusivity and the inclusion of marine biology influence carbon absorption, concluding that enhanced surface alkalinity in abiotic scenarios can lead to increased CO2 buffering capacity in the ocean.
