The Carbon Dioxide Exchange Between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Atmosphere
An approximate distribution of carbon dioxide exchange rates between the atmosphere and the North Atlantic Ocean is obtained for each month of the year on the basis of oceanographic data from Böhnecke’s Atlas and the assumption that atmospheric carbon dioxide maintains uniformly the volume percentag...
