Ocean storage of carbon dioxide carbon sink. Mixing layers involve transporting the denser and colder deep ocean water to the surface mixed layer. As the temperature of water in the ocean decreases with depth, more carbon dioxide and other compounds are able to dissolve in the deeper layers. This can be induced by reversing the oceanic carbon cycle through the use of large vertical pipes serving as ocean pumps, or a mixer array. When the nutrient rich deep ocean water is moved to the surface, algae bloom occurs, resulting in a decrease in carbon dioxide due to carbon intake from Phytoplankton and other photosynthetic eukaryotic
Carbon dioxide clathrate Carbon dioxide clathrate Carbon dioxide hydrate is a snow-like crystalline substance composed of water ice and carbon dioxide. It normally is a Type I gas clathrate. However, there has been some experimental evidence for the development of a metastable Type II phase at A temperature near the ice melting point. The clathrate can exist below 283K (10 °C) at a range of pressures of carbon dioxide. It is quite likely to be important on Mars due to the presence of carbon dioxide and ice at low temperatures. The first evidence for the existence of CO hydrates dates back to the
