  abstract = {{S}helf seas play an important role in the global carbon cycle, absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide ({CO}2) and exporting carbon ({C}) to the open ocean and sediments. {T}he magnitude of these processes is poorly constrained, because observations are typically interpolated over multiple years. {H}ere, we used 298500 observations of {CO}2 fugacity (f{CO}(2)) from a single year (2015), to estimate the net influx of atmospheric {CO}2 as 26.2 +/- 4.7 {T}g {C} yr(-1) over the open {NW} {E}uropean shelf. {CO}2 influx from the atmosphere was dominated by influx during winter as a consequence of high winds, despite a smaller, thermally-driven, air-sea f{CO}(2) gradient compared to the larger, biologically-driven summer gradient. {I}n order to understand this climate regulation service, we constructed a carbon-budget supplemented by data from the literature, where the {NW} {E}uropean shelf is treated as a box with carbon entering and leaving the box. {T}his budget showed that net {C}-burial was a small sink of 1.3 +/- 3.1 {T}g {C} yr(-1), while {CO}2 efflux from estuaries to the atmosphere, removed the majority of river {C}-inputs. {I}n contrast, the input from the {B}altic {S}ea likely contributes to net export via the continental shelf pump and advection (34.4 +/- 6.0 {T}g {C} yr(-1)).},
