Exploring optimising strategies for sampling air-sea carbon dioxide flux in the southern ocean
Includes bibliographical references. A model study was undertaken to investigate the optimization of sampling strategies for returning low-uncertainty sea-air CO₂ flux measurements in the Southern Ocean. Replicating Lenton et al. (2006) using the ORCA2/PISCES ocean biological model shows that sampli...
