NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory Carbon Dioxide Program, located in Seattle, Washington, conducts ocean carbon cycle research from ships and moorings in all of the major ocean basins in collaboration with AOML's CO2 Program. The ocean plays an important role in regulating the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and in regulating climate variability and the impact that humans have on the global environment.

In support of NOAA's Climate Observations and Services Program and Global Carbon Cycle Program, the PMEL CO2 group has three primary observational activities: |
Global Inventory Changes: The PMEL CO2 Program helps monitor changes in ocean carbon chemistry by making inorganic carbon measurements throughout the water column on research cruises in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. This work is organized under the US Clivar/CO2 Repeat Hydrography Program and is coordinated with international partners through the IOCCP.
