Developments in marine pCO2 measurement technology; towards sustained in situ observations
The oceanic uptake of anthropogenic CO2 causes pronounced changes to the marine carbonate system. High quality pCO2 measurements with good temporal and spatial coverage are required to monitor the oceanic uptake, identify regions with pronounced carbonate system changes, and observe the effectiveness of CO2 emission mitigation strategies. There are currently several instruments available, but m...
متن کاملIn Situ CO2 and O2 Measurements on a Profiling Float
In recent years, profiling floats, which form the basis of the successful international Argo observatory, are also being considered as platforms for marine biogeochemical research. This study showcases the utility of floats as a novel tool for combined gas measurements of CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) and O2. These float prototypes were equipped with a small-sized and submersible pCO2 sensor and ...
متن کاملSensitivity of sea-to-air CO2 flux to ecosystem parameters from an adjoint model
An adjoint model is applied to examine the biophysical factors that control surface pCO2 in different ocean regions. In the tropical Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the annual cycle of pCO2 in the model is highly dominated by temperature variability, whereas both the temperature and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) are important in the tropical Pacific. In the high-latitude North Atlantic and South...
متن کاملCharacterisation and deployment of an immobilised pH sensor spot towards surface ocean pH measurements.
The oceans are a major sink for anthropogenic atmospheric carbon dioxide, and the uptake causes changes to the marine carbonate system and has wide ranging effects on flora and fauna. It is crucial to develop analytical systems that allow us to follow the increase in oceanic pCO2 and corresponding reduction in pH. Miniaturised sensor systems using immobilised fluorescence indicator spots are at...
متن کاملEpisodic release of CO2 from the high-latitude North Atlantic Ocean during the last 135 kyr
Antarctic ice cores document glacial-interglacial and millennial-scale variability in atmospheric pCO2 over the past 800 kyr. The ocean, as the largest active carbon reservoir on this timescale, is thought to have played a dominant role in these pCO2 fluctuations, but it remains unclear how and where in the ocean CO2 was stored during glaciations and released during (de)glacial millennial-scale...
