Abstract

Abstract:

Oceanic carbon flux constitutes a critical component of the global carbon cycle and fundamentally informs climate change modeling and prediction. The advent of light detection and ranging(LiDAR) remote sensing has gradually revolutionized oceanic carbon flux measurements by providing high spatiotemporal resolutions, precision, and real-time monitoring capabilities. This review evaluates recent advances in LiDAR-based monitoring of diurnal-nocturnal oceanic carbon flux dynamics. We examine the fundamental principles, methodological approaches, and technical challenges associated with LiDAR applications in carbon flux quantification across the air-sea interface. Additionally, we identify knowledge gaps and propose future research directions to enhance the efficacy of LiDAR technology in characterizing temporal variability in oceanic carbon sequestration.

Key words: oceanic carbon flux, LiDAR-based remote sensing, diurnal-nocturnal monitoring, carbon cycle, CO₂ flux
