Study of CO2 flux during 1992-94 El Niño event vs. 1996 non-El Niño year in Pacific Ocean. Less CO2 released due to reduced upwelling of CO2-enriched water. Examines AIRS CO2 data and SOI correlations.

Influence of El Niño on AIRS CO2 08/06/2008
[Feely et al., 1999] Low CO2 flux during the 1992-94 ENSO event compared with 1996 non-El Nino year in the central and eastern Pacific.
Less upwelling of CO2-enriched water from the equatorial undercurrent leads to less CO2 released to atmosphere.
