Ocean acidification from 1997 to 2011 in the subarctic western North Pacific Ocean
Posted on EPOCA: 17 May 2013 Rising atmospheric CO2 contents have led to greater CO2 uptake by the oceans, lowering both pH due to increasing hydrogen ions and CaCO3 saturation states due to declining carbonate ion (CO32−). Here, we used previously compiled data sets and new data collected in 2010 and 2011 to
