Revelle factor information


The Revelle factor (buffer factor) is the ratio of instantaneous change in carbon dioxide (CO2) to the change in total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and is a measure of the resistance to atmospheric CO2 being absorbed by the ocean surface layer.[1] The buffer factor is used to examine the distribution of CO2 between the atmosphere and the ocean, and measures the amount of CO2 that can be dissolved in the mixed surface layer. It is named after the oceanographer Roger Revelle. The Revelle factor describes the ocean's ability to uptake atmospheric CO2, and is typically referenced in global carbon budget analysis and anthropogenic climate change studies.


Revelle factor = Δ[CO2]/ [CO2] / Δ[DIC]/[DIC] where Δ[CO2] / [CO2] is the instantaneous change in pCO2 and Δ[DIC] / [DIC] is the instantaneous change in dissolved inorganic carbon at the oceans surface.
