In this study, we present evidence that Antarctic and Arctic sea ice act as sink for atmospheric CO2during periods of snowmelt and surface flooding. The CO2flux measured directly at the flooded sea ice surface (Fflood) constituted a net CO2sink of −1.1 ± 0.9 mmol C m−2d−1(mean ± 1 SD), which was an order of magnitude higher than the flux measured at the snow‐air surface (Fsnow) and bare ice surface (Fice). TheFsnow/Ffloodratio decreased with increasing water equivalent of snow and superimposed‐ice, suggesting that the properties of snow and superimposed‐ice formation affect the magnitude of the CO2flux. TheFsnow/Ffloodratio ranged from 0.1 to 0.5, illustrating that 50–90% of the potential flux at the flooded surface was reduced due to the presence of snow/superimposed‐ice. Hence, snow cover properties and superimposed‐ice play an important role in the CO2fluxes across the sea ice‐snow‐atmosphere interface.
