Notes on uncertainty discussion from Vitterbo, including those specific to the ocean regions.

Observations:

Recommendation to compute gas exchange formulation: use the observed winds from CCMP/JPL (R. Wanninkhof, Trinanes, C. Sweeney & Park) available here.
Recommendation for the variable names and units to be used when presenting results:

convention: use sea-air flux and pCO₂ (positive upwards)
we agreed to present observations as: surface, storage, transport in each chapter, but focus on the surface sea-air CO₂ flux
more units coming up (C. Sabine)

Recommendation for oceanic boundary regions, see here.
