If one looks at the ocean / water temperatures http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sst.html there are enormous differences between the tropics, temperate and north, and enormous
seasonal variations during the year which will affect CO2 absorption and emission, and there is a lot of biological activity in seas and waters that also are involved.

However, (a) the anthropogenic emission is less than a third of the
seasonal variation, and (b) the rapid changes to atmospheric CO2 concentration of the
seasonal variation indicate that
during each year the system very rapidly adjusts to
seasonal changes that are much greater than the anthropogenic emission each year (in some places more than an order of magnitude greater; e.g. at Alert, Canada).
