Meet WOMBATlite, the model helping researchers follow the ocean's carbon
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
The ocean absorbs roughly a quarter of humanity's carbon dioxide emissions each year. Understanding how that happens, and how it might change, is essential for predicting our climate's future. To do that, scientists need models that simulate not just the ocean's physical processes, such as currents and temperature, but the full web of biological and chemical processes that move carbon through the water column.
