Figure 20: Distribution of anthropogenic CO2 in the global oceans through 1994. Between 1991 and 1998, global ocean CO2 surveys produced a large number of high-quality measurements of important tracers for anthropogenic carbon. Estimates of the anthropogenic CO2 uptake based on the observations indicate a total anthropogenic CO2 inventory of approximately 117 ± 19 PgC in 1994.
