HuID: | 52670 | |
Relevant Year(s): | 2018 | |
Summary: | The net natural sink of carbon dioxide (CO2) is computed as the sum of the ocean and land natural sinks. The value reported is for 2018. | |
Method: | The uncertainty value represents one standard deviation. It is obtained from the uncertainty of the land CO2 sink and the oceanic CO2 uptake, assuming uncorrelated errors as in the original publication. | |
