Roles of biological and physical processes in driving seasonal air–sea CO2 flux in the Southern Ocean: New insights from CARIOCA pCO2

On a mean annual basis, the Southern Ocean is a sink for atmospheric CO2. However the seasonality of the air–sea CO2 flux in this region is poorly documented. We investigate processes regulating air–sea CO2 flux in a large area of the Southern Ocean (38°S–55°S, 60°W–60°E) that represents nearly one...
