More efficient North Atlantic carbon pump during the Last Glacial Maximum
Atmospheric CO2 is governed by CO2 gains (e.g., via Southern Ocean outgassing) and losses (e.g., via North Atlantic absorption). Using a novel method to estimate air–sea CO2 exchange signals, the authors show that North Atlantic CO2 absorption became more efficient and contributed to lowering atmosp...
