Very happy to see this paper from the #OceanNETs project out:

--> net primary production can locally be reduced by 15% in regions of ocean alkalinity enhancement due to indirect effects.

Our best strategy for assessing the efficacy of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) involves running computationally expensive climate models. Here, we developed a statistical technique that encapsulates the climatic response to OAE interventions, simplifying the OAE carbon accounting problem. 🌊🧪
Impulse response functions as a framework for quantifying ocean-based carbon dioxide removal
Abstract. Limiting global warming to 2 °C by the end of the century requires dramatically reducing CO2 emissions, and also implementing carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. Ocean-based CDR throu...

The Long Heat is finally out from @versobooks.bsky.social today:

It deals with inter alia the promise of climate reversal, climate tipping points, the political economy of carbon removal and the very many antinomies of solar geoengineering.

The duration of long heatwaves increases at an accelerating rate with warming such that a large increase in the risk of long-lasting heatwaves results from relatively modest warming, according to an analysis in Nature Geoscience. go.nature.com/44WkxMB 🧪

Do bubbles matter for ocean carbon uptake? 🌊🫧
Yes, especially for local CO2 fluxes, where wave breaking can enhance variability by up to 40%. That’s an important consideration for #mCDR, where fluxes could otherwise be miscalculated. More in our paper here: [https://doi.org/10.1029/2024GB008382]
Influence of Wave‐Induced Variability on Ocean Carbon Uptake
Wave effects introduce high-frequency variability and amplify the air-sea CO2 flux seasonality, with the largest impacts during storms Wave effects enhance carbon storage and amplify hemispheric ...
