Ocean, Carbon & Climate Connections

Information

The North Atlantic has absorbed about 30 percent of anthropogenic carbon. It is particularly vulnerable to climate change. Despite relevant initiatives, an integrated and coordinated international observing system does not exist today. A North Atlantic Carbon Observatory (NACO) would connect and enhance ocean observation and modelling efforts to allow for more measurements of the ocean’s ability to absorb and store carbon, creating stakeholder-relevant information.
