Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ocean has absorbed a significant portion of all human-made carbon dioxide emissions. This benefits human society by moderating the rate of climate change, but also causes unprecedented changes to ocean chemistry. Carbon dioxide taken up by the ocean decreases the pH of the water and leads to a suite of chemical changes collectively known as ocean acidification. The long term consequences of ocean acidification are not known, but are expected to result in changes to many ecosystems and the services they provide to society. Ocean Acidification: A National Strategy to Meet the Challenges of a Changing Ocean reviews the current state of knowledge, explores gaps in understanding, and identifies several key findings. Like climate change, ocean acidification is a growing global problem that will intensify with continued CO2 emissions and has the potential to change marine ecosystems and affect benefits to society. The federal government has taken positive initial steps by developing a national ocean acidification program, but more information is needed to fully understand and address the threat that ocean acidification may pose to marine ecosystems and the services they provide. In addition, a global observation network of chemical and biological sensors is needed to monitor changes in ocean conditions attributable to acidification.

Book Carbonate Chemistry of the North Pacific Ocean

Download or read book Carbonate Chemistry of the North Pacific Ocean written by Ching-ling Wei and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis covers a wide area of the North Pacific Ocean, latitudinally from 10° to 55°N and longitudinally from Japan to the U.S. coast. With two longitudinal cruises as the main data sources and selected literature data sets as supplementary data source, the distribution of physical and chemical properties in the North Pacific Ocean is presented. AOU, pH, total CO2, and nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) are interrelated parameters. Along our two longitudinal sections they all show a core structure underlying the salinity minimum layer. From these oxidation related parameters we obtain a conclusion that the subsurface water of the eastern North Pacific Ocean is older than that of the western North Pacific Ocean. Alkalinity, calcium, and silicate show a monotonically increasing trend with depth to the deepest sampling depth. The alkalinity data can be used as a water mass tracer. Different water masses which show their own mixing trends can be identified when the correlation of normalinzed alkalinity with temperature is scrutinized. The vertical distribution of the normalized alkalinity shows a maximum core at a depth of about 2500 m in the .North Pacific Ocean. Not only the calcium carbonate dissolution but also the circulation in the deep and bottom layer plays a role in this normalized alkalinity maximum core. Our analysis of carbonate data shows that about 257. of the increase in total inorganic CO2 of deep water, after leaving from the Southern Ocean to the North Pacific, is contributed by inorganic CaCO3 dissolution. There is no significant difference of inorganic carbon/organic carbon ratio between our two sections. However, it was found that the eastern section has a higher total TCO2 input than that of the western section. The degree of saturation with respect to calcite and aragonite was calculated from all the available data sets. Mr. Ahmed Rushdi and Professor R.M. Pytkowicz are working on the effect of Mg on the formation and the properties of magnesian calcites. There are metastable forms of these compounds which may have been interpreted as stable ones in solubility determinations. Some revision of degree of saturation may be called for in the future. Four selected cross-sections, three longitudinal and one latitudinal, show that a large volume of the North Pacific is undersaturated with respect to CaCO3. The saturation horizon generally shows a shoaling from the west to the east and from the south to the north in the North Pacific Ocean. It was found that lysocline falls on a depth much deeper (about 2500 m deeper) than the saturation horizon of calcite and several hundred meters shallower than the CCD (calcium carbonate compensation depth) depth. Our results support the kinetic point of view on the CaCO3 dissolution mechanisms. The direct approach on the fossil fuel increase signal in seawater is adopted in this thesis. A new set of preformed equations of alkalinity and total CO2 was obtained from a more updated GEOSECS data. Our results show that the penetration depth of fossil fuel CO2 is strongly related to the surface oceanographic circulation. The shallowest penetration depth is less than 300 m found in the eastern equatorial region where the upwelling prevails and the deepest penetration depth is deeper than 2000 m off Japan where an interaction of Oyashio and Kuroshio currents is found.

Book Seasonal Variability of Sea Surface Carbonate Chemistry and Temperature

Download or read book Seasonal Variability of Sea Surface Carbonate Chemistry and Temperature written by John Brian Robin Matthews and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean uptake of anthropogenic CO2 causes ocean acidification, a secular, global-scale decline in the pH of seawater. In order to better understand the implications of contemporary acidification for marine organisms and ecosystems, there is a need to better characterise natural variability in carbonate chemistry. In this thesis, climatological seasonal variability of sea surface pH and aragonite saturation state (OmegaA) in the open ocean is indirectly derived from other parameters of the marine CO2 system, namely total alkalinity (TA) and seawater pCO22/fCO2 (pCO2sw/fCO22sw). New monthly sea surface TA, fCO2sw and temperature climatologies are developed for this purpose, utilising newly-released observational synthesis products (PACIFICA for TA and SOCAT v2 for fCO2sw). Two versions of the new SST climatology are developed, referred to as upper and lower SST (USST and LSST), to test sensitivity to the depth range of the input observations. Annual ranges are generally found to be larger for the USST climatology, derived using observations from the upper 2 m, compared to LSST (which is based on deeper observations). Further, a seasonal cycle is found in the monthly average of the differences between these climatologies north of 30°N, perhaps partly due to seasonal variation in near-surface stratification. The USST seasonal ranges are also found to be generally larger than in two previous SST climatologies, however, difference in the depth distribution of the input measurements is unlikely the main cause. The new monthly sea surface TA climatology extends coverage into the Nordic seas, excluded from previous climatologies. TA seasonality is found to be small outside of regions with large seasonal ranges in salinity. Large seasonal ranges in salinity and TA are found beneath the Intertropical Convergence Zone, in the Antarctic seasonal sea ice zone and in the western Greenland Sea. Non-salinity driven TA seasonality is found to be large in the Gulf of Alaska, eastern equatorial Pacific and western Greenland Sea. Compared to the Lee et al. (2006) TA climatology, substantially lower annual means and seasonal ranges are found for the subarctic Pacific, a region with greatly improved coverage courtesy of PACIFICA. The pH/OmegaA climatologies derived in the final chapter suggest pH seasonality is predominantly temperature driven in the subtropics and mainly driven by variation in salinity normalised dissolved inorganic carbon (sDIC) in the subpolar north Atlantic, western subarctic Pacific and Southern Ocean. Salinity variation is found to only exert a strong influence on pH seasonality in the western Greenland Sea ... .
