Measuring air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide in the open ocean

The exchange of gases between the oceans and the atmosphere has an important influence on climate

A team led by scientists at the National Oceanography Centre have measured the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide in the open ocean at higher wind speed then anyone else has ever managed. Their findings are important for understanding how interactions between the oceans and the atmosphere influence climate.
