Ocean CO2 Flux Maps

Gregg, Watson: NASA GSFC (Project Lead)

Project Funding: 2011 - 2012

NRA: 2011 NASA: Directed Funding   

Funded by NASA

Abstract:
Initiate development and production of global maps of monthly global air-sea CO2 fluxes. This will involve combining NASA satellite remote sensing observations, in situ ocean carbon dioxide measurements, and complementary data collection efforts of related properties including O2, DIC and biological properties with global ocean biogeochemistry models and data assimilation. Remote sensing data products will include ocean color and sea surface temperature (SST) (for data assimilation), and wind products and, eventually, ocean salinity measurements from Aquarius (for model forcing and carbon data assimilation).
