ABSTRACT:   Affected by global warming and rapid sea ice change, the Western Arctic Ocean is a strong potential carbon sink. In order to get a high resolution basin-scale estimate of the air-sea flux of CO2 and carbon uptake in the Western Arctic Ocean from 180°E to 135°W, 65°N to 85°N, we applied an extrapolation method. Empirical relationship ...
