TITLE: ATMOSPHERIC CARBON DIOXIDE AND MARINE INTERACTION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report studies causes which explain the recorded atmospheric annual CO2 flux variation of about 5 parts per million (ppm). The amount is part of an annual CO2 flow of about 28 ppm (221Gt) through the seasonal transfer of atmospheric CO2 between the southern and northern oceans. The flow is driven by changes in sea temperature which also controls the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere as per Henry’s Law. Anthropogenic CO2 is up to 36Gt which adds 16% to the current natural flux. While this is a notable portion, there is no satellite evidence to suggest there …
