Short summary
We use a 27-year eddy-resolving ocean-biogeochemical simulation to assess how mesoscale eddies modulate air–sea CO2 fluxes in the Southern Ocean. Eddies act as persistent carbon sinks, with anticyclones showing enhanced carbon uptake efficiency. Mesoscale features account for ~10 % of the total carbon uptake in the Southern Ocean and about 1 % of the anomalous carbon uptake.
