Sea ice plays important role in variability of carbon uptake by Southern Ocean
New research reveals the importance of winter sea ice in the year-to-year variability of the amount of atmospheric CO2 absorbed by a region of the Southern Ocean.
In years when sea ice lasts longer in winter, the ocean will overall absorb 20% more CO2 from the atmosp . . .
