A new, higher resolution, version of the OceanSODA‑ETHZ was presented at ESA’s Living Planet Symposium.
This product, developed through a creative blend of machine‑learning methods, reveals how oceans absorb (and sometimes release) carbon dioxide on a fine-scale, 25 × 25 km grid every eight days, a thirtyfold improvement over previous monthly, 100 × 100 km datasets.
This allows capturing rapid and localized events like hurricanes stirring deep, carbon-rich waters into the light and marks a major leap forward in understanding the ocean’s dynamic role in climate regulation and acidification trends.
