Along one string of sites, or «stations,» that stretches from Antarctica to the southern Indian
Ocean, researchers have tracked the conditions of AABW — a layer of profoundly cold water less than 0 °C (it stays liquid because of its salt content, or salinity) that moves through the abyssal ocean, mixing with warmer waters as it circulates around the globe in the Southern Ocean and northward into all three of the major ocean ba

If the craft were to crash on the surface of a cold moon like Enceladus, the RTGs could easily thaw a path through tens of kilometers of ice, and plop down
into the
liquid water
ocean beneath, though this might take a long time.
Cassini discovered a
liquid - water
ocean under the icy surface of the moon Enceladus and, perhaps a victim of its own success, must die to prevent any chance that its warm electric generators might melt their way down

There is no surprise that the CO2 in the atmosphere winds up partially in the
oceans, nor that the amount of CO2 going
into or coming out of the
oceans varies in time and space — that's simple equilibrium chemistry between the
liquid (that is, dissolved) and gaseous phases, and does explain part of the variability about the long term rising trend.

Please see Archer 2005 or similar works — what he's examining is removal of carbon from the carbon cycle, or to be much clearer, movement of carbon from the
ocean / atmosphere / biosphere compartments
into rocks, reversing the movement we've made turning rocks / underground
liquids into CO2.
The main difference between H2O and CO2 (apart from the numerical differences of their specific physical properites such as degree of freedom, thermal capacity, physical mass, etc) in terms of their effects on the atmosphere is that water is capable of condensing
into liquid to form clouds and readily and rapidly moves between surface and atmosphere, daily, seasonally, annually and on even greater time scales, but CO2 does not liquify in the biosphere and transfers over mostly long time periods between surface (primarily
oceans, seas, etc) and the atmosphere.
I looked
into this after your post about a year ago on the Argo float temperatures and how the
