•
The ocean has absorbed ~1/3 of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions
since the beginning of the industrial era (Sabine & Freely, 2007);

Motivation/Rational
UFPE •
•
The temperate oceans (15o-50o) in the both hemispheres are the major
sink zones for atmospheric CO2 . The equatorial Pacific and Atlantic
(15oN-15oS) are important oceanic sources for atmospheric CO2 (i.e.,
Takahashi et al., 2009; 2014);
Previous estimates of net production in the seasonal Amazon plume
indicate that up to 1.7 Tmol C yr-1 is sequestered from the atmosphere,
reversing the WTNA’s expected role as a net carbon source of CO2 (i.e.,
Yeung et al., 2012).
