dc.description.abstractA model study was undertaken to investigate the optimization of sampling strategies for returning low-uncertainty sea-air CO₂ flux measurements in the Southern Ocean. Replicating Lenton et al. (2006) using the ORCA2/PISCES ocean biological model shows that sampling 4 times a year, every 2⁰ in latitude and every 40⁰ in longitude reduces the uncertainty of estimating annual CO₂ flux estimates such that sampling at a higher frequency does not reduce the total uncertainty in proportion to the increase in sampling effort.en_ZA
