Description
The ocean plays a central role in modulating the Earth’s carbon cycle. Monitoring
how the ocean carbon cycle is changing is fundamental to managing climate
change. Satellite remote sensing is currently our best tool for viewing the ocean
surface globally and systematically, at high spatial and temporal resolutions, and
the past few decades have seen an exponential growth in studies utilising satellite
data for ocean carbon research.
