Abstract
IN order to elucidate the role of atmosphere–ocean interaction in the geochemical cycle of carbon, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography has been measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in surface ocean waters and in the adjacent atmosphere as part of a world-wide survey initiated during the International Geophysical Year. The results of the first two expeditions are reported by Keeling et al.1. This work is continuing under the direction of the senior author.
