Ocean Biogeochemistry : the Role of the Ocean Carbon Cycle in Global Change /

Show other versions (1)

Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO2 released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO2 is pumped fro...
