The impact of diurnal variability in sea surface temperature on the central Atlantic air-sea CO<sub>2</sub> flux

The effect of diurnal variations in sea surface temperature (SST) on the air-sea flux of CO<sub>2</sub> over the central Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean Sea (60 S–60 N, 60 W–45 E) is evaluated for 2005–2006. We use high spatial resolution hourly satellite ocean skin temperature data to...
