Estimates of air-sea co2 flux exhibit sharply reduced accuracy when observational coverage drops, impairing the assessment of ocean carbon dioxide uptake.
A 65% increase in flux estimate standard deviation emerged after annual surface ocean co2 atlas dataset contributions decreased by 35% over four years.
Highlights the vital need for sustained surface ocean co2 atlas synthesis to reliably inform the global carbon budget and verify marine co2 removal efforts.

Implication

Synthesis analysis demonstrates declining observational coverage increases uncertainty in ocean carbon flux estimates, highlighting risks to global carbon budget tracking.
