Table 1 Carbonate chemistry of seawater at sampling sites 1 (control), 2 (intermediate pCO2) and 3 (high pCO2). Parameters were calculated from pHNBS, total alkalinity (TA), ambient seawater temperature and salinity (38‰) using the program CO2SYS54. All data shown are the mean (±SD). Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)
Site | pHNBS | TA (μeq kg−1) | pCO2 (μatm) | DIC (μmol kg−1) | HC03− (μmol kg−1) | CO32− (μmol kg−1) | CO2(aq) (μmol kg−1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1. Control | 8.12 (0.02) | 2554 (47) | 463 (33) | 2206 (22) | 1998 (29) | 193 (8) | 15 (1) |
2. Intermediate pCO2 | 7.99 (0.07) | 2486 (9) | 683 (62) | 2287 (46) | 2113 (65) | 152 (23) | 22 (4) |
3. High pCO2 | 7.44 (0.26) | 2501 (20) | 3232 (836) | 2585 (123) | 2430 (93) | 50 (25) | 105 (53) |
