Southern Ocean's Major Role in Carbon Dioxide Absorption
- Recent research from the University of East Anglia and Plymouth Marine Laboratory reveals that the Southern Ocean absorbs significantly more carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously believed, with direct measurements showing a 25% higher uptake compared to previous estimates based on indirect data. This finding demonstrates the Southern Ocean's critical role in mitigating human-induced CO2 emissions, highlighting the need for improved measurement techniques and sustained data collection efforts to better understand and manage global climate impacts.
