Evaluation of air-sea CO2 fluxes in the ocean-ecosystem model FESOM-REcoM and in the Global Carbon Budget Models
We assessed air-sea CO2 fluxes in the ocean circulation ecosystem model FESOM-REcoM. FESOM is a finite element sea ice-ocean model, with a variable resolution ocean mesh. The mesh used here has a nominal resolution of 150 km in the open ocean and reaches 25 km in the tropics and in the Arctic region...
