Changes in ocean circulation and carbon storage are decoupled from air-sea CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes
The spatial distribution of the air-sea flux of carbon dioxide is a poor indicator of the underlying ocean circulation and of ocean carbon storage. The weak dependence on circulation arises because mixing-driven changes in solubility-driven and biologically-driven air-sea fluxes largely cancel out....
