A CO₂ Milestone in Earth's History - Antarctic field project captures 400 ppm levels

AtmosNews | 12 May 2016

Earth’s atmosphere is crossing a major threshold, as high levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂)—the leading driver of recent climate change—are beginning to extend even to the globe's most remote region. Scientists flying near Antarctica this winter captured the moment with airborne CO₂ sensors during a field project to better understand the Southern Ocean's role in global climate.

ORCAS Campaign Studies Southern Ocean Carbon

Environmental Monitor | 15 January 2016 

The Southern Ocean is special among the world’s oceans. Unchecked by large landmasses and driven by westerly winds, the ocean is able to form a circular flow around Antarctica, making up what is the planet’s largest current.

Flying Lab to Investigate Southern Ocean's  Appetite for Carbon

AtmosNews | 5 January 2016

A team of scientists is launching a series of research flights this month over the remote Southern Ocean in an effort to better understand just how much carbon dioxide the icy waters are able to lock away. The ORCAS field campaign—led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)—will give scientists a rare look at how oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the air and the seas surrounding Antarctica. The data they collect will help illuminate the role the Southern Ocean plays in soaking up excess carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere by humans.
