Here, we assess the effect of data sparsity on two pCO<sub>2</sub>-based estimates by subsampling output from a global ocean biogeochemistry model. The estimates of the ocean CO<sub>2</sub> uptake are improved from a sampling scheme that mimics present-day sampling to an ideal sampling scheme with 1000 evenly distributed sites. In particular, insufficient sampling has given rise to strong biases in the trend of the ocean carbon sink in the pCO<sub>2</sub> products. The overestimation of the CO<sub>2</sub> flux trend by 20–35% globally and 50–130% in the Southern Ocean with the present-day sampling is reduced to less than 15% with the ideal sampling scheme. A substantial overestimation of the decadal variability of the Southern Ocean carbon sink occurs in one product and appears related to a skewed data distribution in pCO2 space. With the ideal sampling, the bias in the mean CO<sub>2</sub> flux is reduced from 9–12% to 2–9% globally and from 14–26% to 5–17% in the Southern Ocean. On top of that, discrepancies of about 0.4 PgC yr<sup>−1</sup> (15%) persist due to uncertainties in the gas-exchange calculation.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Heat and carbon uptake in the Southern Ocean: the state of the art and future priorities’.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Sparse observations induce large biases in estimates of the global ocean CO<sub>2</sub> sink: an ocean model subsampling experiment","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-17 01:32:51.526597","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"ocean carbon sink, pCO2 observations, observation system design","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2023,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-09-18","DateCreate":"2023-05-08","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000983226900002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1098/rsta.2022.0063"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":364076,"PubliDate":2023,"Pagination":"20220063","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"381","Issue":"2249","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":195042,"SerRR":"Philosophical Transactions - Royal Society.
