Abstract

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentrations over the past two centuries have led to greater CO 2 uptake by the oceans. This acidification process has changed the saturation state ofthe oceans with respect to calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) particles. Here we estimate the in situ CaCO 3 diss...
