Carbon dioxide in Arctic and subarctic regions. Progress report for FY 82
The objectives are to identify and quantify the sources and sinks of carbon dioxide in the polar regions. Results indicate the Arctic is a net annual sink of as much as 1.1 x 10/sup 15/ g of CO/sub 2/, that natural sources and sinks within the Arcticc are the cause of up to 20 to 40% of the observed large annual excursions of atmospheric CO/sub 2/ there, that the Arcti is exchanging more than 2 x 10/sup 15/ g of CO/sub 2/ throughout the entire year, and that the porous annual sea ice will allow for the air-sea exchange of CO/sub 2/.
