Global surface ocean CO2 concentration and uptake estimated using a neural network

The ocean absorbs about 25% of the atmospheric CO2 emitted by human activities. The estimate of ocean CO2 uptake provides an important constraint on the global carbon budget. This dataset includes monthly distribution of CO2 fugacity and ocean-atmosphere CO2 flux in 1x1 degree grids for the 1985-2019 period estimated using a neural network. The dataset will be updated annually to include the most recent CO2 observations.

Update history
[2020/11/17]
The update version ver.2020.1 used 1.54 μatm/yr as the global ocean CO2 trend for modelling CO2 distribution and used the monthly mean surface pressure and wind speed at 10 m of ERA5 reanalysis for flux calculation. The trend was re-estimated using the method in the reference with the new data.
[2020/10/20]
Data from 1985 to 2019 are released. ver.2020.0.
