The team led by Dr. Moritz Mathis from the Cluster of Excellence for Climate Research CLICCS at the Universität Hamburg and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon proved that the intensity of CO absorption ₂ it is higher in coastal seas than in the open ocean. It proves it study published in the magazine Nature Climate Change .

To combat ongoing climate change, it is important to understand how CO emissions are distributed _{2 .} And which exchange processes between the atmosphere, ocean and land regulate the distribution. Methodological developments in recent years have made it possible to more flexibly incorporate physical and biogeochemical processes into climate models and capture individual regions with higher resolution.
