Subtle temperature difference between ‘ocean skin’ and water beneath found to drive more CO2 absorption
A sliver of cool surface water less than 2mm deep helps oceans absorb carbon dioxide, a British-led team of scientists has established after months of voyages across the Atlantic painstakingly measuring gas and temperature levels.
