The ocean contains about 40 times more carbon than the atmosphere, storing 38,000 Pg C as dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) versus 900 Pg C as carbon dioxide (CO2) in the present atmosphere. The biological carbon pump contributes to ocean carbon storage by moving organic carbon out of the surface ocean into deeper waters in sinking particles, vertically migrating organisms and physical circulation.
