🌊🚨 New study! Beyond wind speed: what really controls air–sea gas exchange?
A Baltic Sea study shows CO₂ transfer can be ~30% lower than in the open ocean due to
👉 limited fetch → smaller waves
👉 surfactants dampen turbulence
Surface conditions matter!

The EGU Ocean Sciences division blog is looking for new volunteer editors. So far, the team consists of two early career scientists, Jacqueline and Maurie — both working in ocean biogeochemistry — and...
Here is a great resource for anyone working on ocean carbon: Jiang et al. (2026) compiled a comprehensive synthesis of data products for ocean carbonate chemistry — all in one place for you! The paper...
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is generally considered a seasonal mode of variability, developing and decaying within a single year. During 2021–2022, however, negative IOD conditions persisted for app...
When we think about what drives air-sea gas exchange (such as CO2), wind usually gets all the credit. Strong winds stir the surface, enhance turbulence, and speed up gas transfer. But a new study in A...

The ocean surrounding Antarctica plays a crucial role in the climate system. Along parts of the Antarctic coast, very cold and salty water becomes dense enough to sink all the way to the ocean floor. ...
Mesoscale eddies and Southern Ocean carbon sink The Southern Ocean takes up more than a quarter of the anthropogenic CO₂. Its powerful westerly winds, deep overturning circulation, and intense mixing ...
