Project Overview This project is exploring the variability and large-scale biological and physical drivers of the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Southern Ocean, south of Australia. This will increase our understanding of the critical role of the Southern Ocean in controlling atmospheric CO2 concentrations, and allow more robust predictions of how this may be altered in future under changed climatic conditions. Project Objectives - To characterise the seasonal to interannual variability in the air-sea exchange of carbon dioxide and related tracers, south of Australia.
- To determine the major physical and biological drivers of air-sea carbon exchange in the region and assess the sensitivity of the carbon uptake to altered climatic conditions.
