Seasonal air-sea CO2 fluxes (mol C m−2 year−1) calculated using the wind speed parameterization of Ho et al.36. Note that the actual minimum and maximum values are approximately − 30 and 39 mol C m−2 year−1, respectively. Positive values (red symbols) indicate an oceanic CO2 source to the atmosphere and negative values (blue symbols) indicate oceanic uptake of CO2. The solid black line represents the 200 m bathymetry contour.
