The Arctic Ocean marine carbon cycle: evaluation of air-sea CO<sub>2</sub> exchanges, ocean acidification impacts and potential feedbacks

At present, although seasonal sea-ice cover mitigates atmosphere-ocean gas exchange, the Arctic Ocean takes up carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) on the order of &minus;66 to &minus;199 Tg C year<sup>&minus;1</sup> (10<sup>12</sup> g C), contributing 5–14...
