In October 2009 our colleague Nicolas Metzl pointed out a problem with the data we used in the Indian Ocean from the OISO program. We had applied a temperature correction which had already been applied. For this update we also estimated pCO2 from the fCO2 values reported in the original data set. The result of applying these new data to our interpolation scheme are presented here. We have maps of the difference in sea-air pCO2 and sea-air carbon flux for each month. Boxes were the difference values are near zero are in white (invisible). The data in the main web pages have been corrected to reflect these changes.
