The Global Ocean Carbon Cycle After Peak Emissions: Dynamics And Process Attribution In A Seamless Model Framework From Coastal Shelves To The Open Ocean
Innovative Forecasting To Quantify The Ocean Sinkthe Ocean Absorbs About 25 % Of The Co2 Emissions Generated By Human Activities, Which Helps Mitigate The Effects Of Climate Change. The Global Carbon Budget Monitors Atmospheric Co2 Sources And Sinks, But It Is Unclear Whether The Ocean Sink Has Increased Or Remained The Same Since 2016. Additionally, After Peak Emissions, Atmospheric Co2 Levels Controlling The Ocean Sink Will Slow Down Or Decrease, While The Role Of Poorly Understood Ocean Ventilation Processes Will Become More Significant. The Eu-Funded Oceanpeak Project Aims To Develop An Innovative Forecasting Tool To Predict Global Ocean Co2 Uptake In Low Emission Scenarios. Using A Unique Multi-Resolution Ocean Carbon Cycle Model, The Project Will Quantify And Comprehend The Ocean Sink From Local To Global Scales.
