The Southern Ocean’s carbon story
Read more of: The Southern Ocean’s carbon storySONATA will design and implement an optimal approach to assess the state, variability and climatic drivers of the contemporary Southern Ocean carbon sink. This overriding objective will be achieved through a combination of atmospheric and marine field measurements as well as numerical modelling.
