(map) Net flux of human-produced(anthropogenic) carbon dioxide in 2017. Positive values (green) indicate the ocean absorbed human-produced carbon, and negative values (purple) indicate the ocean was a new source of human-produced carbon to the atmosphere. (graph) Monthly (gray) and annual (green) amounts of human-produced carbon absorbed by the ocean from 1982–2017. Uptake has increased rapidly since 2000.
