The annual cycle of epCO2 (pCO2ocean-pCO2atm; i.e. negative/positive = atmospheric CO2 sink) in the Southern Ocean for the regions 40°-50°S (black line) and 50°-62°S (dashed line; Takahashi et al., 2009[1]). The Sub-Antarctic zone (40°-50°S) acts a permanent CO2 sink but at higher latitudes the ocean acts as an atmospheric sink during summer and a source during winter (Metzl et al., 2006[2]).
