Melt pond formation is a common feature of spring and summer Arctic sea ice, but the role and impact of sea ice melt and pond formation on both the direction and size of CO 2 fluxes between air and sea is still unknown. Here we report on the CO 2 -carbonate chemistry of melting sea ice, melt ponds a...
