About half of carbon emissions are currently absorbed by natural processes taking place on land and in the ocean. But not all regions of the Earth’s surface act as a sink for emitted CO2.
The 25-year trend in wind speed squared over the tropical Pacific calculated from a popular wind analysis product (Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform Wind Analysis Version 2, period 1992-2016).
