Accelerating CO₂ Outgassing in the Equatorial Pacific from Satellite Remote Sensing by Yiwu Shang, Jingyuan Xi, Yi Yu, Wentao Ma, Shuangling Chen

“…In contrast, during the very strong La Niña events (1999/2000, 2007/2008, and 2010/2011), both <i>p</i>CO₂sw and FCO₂ showed a strong increase of 40–48 μatm and 1.0–1.4 mol·m⁻²·yr⁻¹ in the western equatorial Pacific, yet with little change in the eastern equatorial Pacific. In the past 40 years, <i>p</i>CO₂sw in the eastern equatorial Pacific was increasing at a higher rate (2.32–2.51 μatm·yr⁻¹) than that in the western equatorial Pacific (1.75 μatm·yr⁻¹), resulting in an accelerating CO₂ outgassing (at a rate of 0.03 mol·m⁻²·yr⁻²) in the eastern equatorial Pacific. …”
