Short summary
This study deployed a buoy equipped with three low-cost sensors in the northern South China Sea to continuously monitor atmospheric CO2 at the sea surface. After correcting for environmental factors and sensor drift, the measurement accuracy improved. CO2 levels were generally stable with small daily changes, while local fluctuations reflected air from land. This affordable approach enables reliable ocean CO2 monitoring and helps study the ocean’s role in the global carbon cycle.
