Warming could help make the Indian Ocean a stronger climate buffer
The world's oceans help slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, but how much they take up can vary throughout the year.
Summary
The world's oceans help slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, but how much they take up can vary throughout the year. New research, published in Geophysical Research Letters , suggests these seasonal patterns are changing across the Indian Ocean, potentially affecting how it helps to regulate Earth's climate. CO₂ moves continuously between the ocean and the atmosphere.
