NERC/NSFGEO Seawater pH: Bridging the Gap Between Free and Total pH Scales From Estuaries to the Deep Ocean, and Application to Current Sensors

Ocean acidification (OA) from the dissolution of excess atmospheric CO2 has potentially profound effects on the ocean food chain, its biogeochemistry, and society. Central to our understanding of OA, and efforts to respond to it, are the quantification of pH – decreasing by about 0.017 per decade near the surface – and the speciation of …
