Extended Data Fig. 3: Alk* versus seawater age plots from the Atlantic Ocean.

From: Calcium carbonate dissolution patterns in the ocean

Extended Data Fig. 3

Plots corresponding to randomly selected density bins from the Suptropical North Atlantic (a,d,g), Equatorial Atlantic (b,e,h) and Subtropical South Atlantic (c,f,i). The spatial distribution of the Alk* and seawater age data is shown in Extended Data Fig. 1. Red lines are linear fits from which CaCO3 dissolution rates are estimated, computed as half of the slope, expressed in μmol kg−1 a−1. For each regional density, the mean depth (± 1σ) and the σ0 range are reported.
