Section outline

    • Cold oceans in polar regions have a high dissolution rate (the ability to dissolve air in the ocean water becomes larger as the water gets colder) and are prone to absorbing CO2 in the atmosphere. In the polar ocean, the freezing phenomena generate dense water. Dense water submerges into the deep ocean with CO2 absorbed by the ocean surface from the air, thus efficiently transporting and isolating CO2 in the air into the deep ocean.
