Laetitia Parc, a 3rd year PhD student at LMD-ENS, is studying the impact of rain on the absorption of carbon by the ocean. Using various representations of the ocean surface response to rainfall and different rain products, she shows that rain increases the ocean carbon sink by +0.14–0.19 PgC yr⁻¹ over 2008–2018, representing an increase of 5–7% of the ocean carbon uptake (2.66 PgC yr⁻¹). This work is published in a great Nature Geoscience paper.
