| Summary: | The oceans play an essential role in mitigating climate change by sequestering approximately 25% of annually emitted anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). High-latitude oceans, especially Arctic continental shelves, represent large atmospheric CO2 sinks due to their unique conditions. However, retreating glaciers and increasing meltwater supply are changing fjord circulation and biogeochemistry, which may impact future carbon uptake. Indeed, Arctic coastal shelves are heterogeneous regions that remain inadequately sampled and therefore poorly understood, hindering accurate assessments of carbon uptake in this region. This study investigates variation in pCO2 levels during August in the Greenland coastal ocean. Here we present the first-ever large-scale measurements of oceanic pCO2 in Greenlandic fjords., by combining datasets from two August cruises. HDMS Lauge Koch and RV Sanna cruises sampled on the East and West coast of Greenland in August 2018 and 2016 respectively. This dataset consists of 112 sample ... |
