GREENHOUSE GAS STUDIES Measurement of Carbon Dioxide in Surface Water: The ocean sequesters on average about 30 % of the CO 2 produced by combustion of fossil fuel and other human activities. The uptake changes with region and season. The partial pressure of CO 2 in surface water (pCO 2 ) controls to a large extent the flux of CO 2 between ocean and atmosphere. The automated pCO 2 system on the EXPLORER OF THE SEAS provides coverage to determine the CO 2 fluxes in the Caribbean Sea. Trend of pCO 2 with time along the Eastern track (see above). The red colors on the figure at left indicate that the region is a source of CO 2 to the atmosphere blue that it is a sink. The Caribbean Sea releases CO 2 to the atmosphere during the summer and fall and takes up CO 2 in spring.
