Uncoordinated approach of measurements and prediction of carbon fluxes and ocean acidification at basin-scale level
Needs
Integrate the many different measurements and observing infrastructures
Identify carbon sources and sinks at the basin-scale and how fast and strong they will respond to environmental change
Develop reliable CO2 emission scenarios for 2° target at basin-scale level
Possible Outcomes
Facilitate basin-scale cooperation and knowledge exchange among different networks, projects, programs, infrastructures, and initiatives as well as stakeholder groups to provide an All-Atlantic view on carbon uptake and its observation needs
Data and knowledge system in the context of carbon uptake in the Atlantic Ocean following a fully established value chain
Information product on how to observe the ideas for marine solutions to increase CO2 uptake in the Atlantic Ocean
Main contacts: Leticia Cotrim (UERJ, Brazil) and Brad deYoung (MUN, Canada)
