From: Significance of the oceanic CO2 sink for national carbon accounts
The estimated storage of anthropogenic CO2 (mol/m2) between 1990 and 1999 within the South Indian/Pacific Ocean. The approximate location of Australia's EEZ is shown in the shaded regions and includes Australia's continental EEZ, Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands in the Tasman Sea, Cocos and Christmas Islands in the sub-tropical Indian Ocean, the sub-Antarctic Islands (Macquarie and Heard) and the Australian Antarctic Territory. The total inventory of anthropogenic CO2 within the EEZ is 2.1 ± 0.7 PgCO2.
