ECCO‑Darwin model delivers first multi‑decadal global ocean CO₂ flux estimates

For the first time, a single model has delivered multi‑decadal global ocean CO₂ flux estimates. The ECCO‑Darwin data‑assimilative system integrates ocean physics with biogeochemistry, producing validated, peer‑observed records of surface ocean pCO2 from seasons to decades. This is measurable progress toward understanding the ocean's role as a carbon sink.
