The work has implications for how ocean modelers determine the overall amounts of carbon dioxide taken up by the oceans, which is typically performed through oxygen - based measurements. (sciencedaily.com)
In the high - profile science behind climate change, the work has implications that reach far and wide, not only on how ocean modelers determine the overall amounts of carbon dioxide taken up by oceans, but potentially the pace at which our Earth's atmosphere has warmed over the last century.

«Basic chemistry tells us that within decades there may be serious trouble brewing in the polar oceans,» says James Orr, lead author and ocean modeler from the French Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement, who further adds, «unlike climate predictions, the uncertainties here are small.» (dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com)
