According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there is over 1,4 billion cubic kilometers of water on the planet. 95% of that water is in the oceans, so that makes 1,3 billion cubic kilometers of ocean water.
A carbon pool is a reservoir with the capacity to store and release carbon, such as soil, terrestrial vegetation, the ocean, and the atmosphere.
It depends on what you mean by capacity: The amount of water in the ocean would probably be measured in millions of cubic kilometres. The amount of a chemical substance it can dissolve might be in tons or kilotons - though the amount that can be absorbed safely will be very much smaller - possible only kilograms.
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
The atmosphere has a lower heat capacity.
Land near the ocean changes temperature less rapidly because water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, meaning it takes longer to heat up and cool down. Water also has the ability to store and release heat, moderating temperature changes in coastal areas. In contrast, land farther inland heats up and cools down more quickly due to lower specific heat capacity and less heat storage capacity.

Water has a high heat capacity
The ocean heats up slowly due to the high specific heat capacity it possesses.

When algae multiplies in the ocean out of control they will eventually begin to die rapidly. This is because they have reached their carrying capacity.
The high heat capacity and thermal conductivity of water make it heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere. Water can absorb and store more heat energy compared to air. Additionally, the mixing of ocean waters and the vastness of the ocean help to distribute and transfer heat more slowly.
The ocean has a higher heat capacity than the atmosphere, meaning it can absorb and store more heat before its temperature changes. Additionally, the movement of water in the ocean, such as currents and mixing, distributes heat more evenly throughout the ocean, causing it to heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere.
The ocean's high heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and vast surface area enable it to efficiently absorb heat.
The ocean has a higher heat capacity due to its mass and density, which means it can absorb and retain more heat energy compared to the atmosphere. This results in a slower rate of temperature change in the ocean as it takes more energy to warm up or cool down. Additionally, the ocean's currents and circulation patterns also play a role in distributing heat more slowly throughout its depths.
