Ocean acidification (OA) is increasing predictably in the global ocean as rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide lead to higher oceanic concentrations inorganic carbon. The Gulf Maine (GOM) a seasonally varying region confluence for many processes that further affect carbonate system including freshwater influences and high productivity, particularly near coast where local impart strong influence. Two main regions within GOM currently experience conditions are suboptimal organisms—the...
Abstract In the coastal ocean, local carbonate system variability is determined by interaction between ocean acidification and processes. Sporadic observations indicate that biological metabolism, river input, water mass mixing are dominant processes driving in northeast US shelf waters. These also reflected of observed temperature (T), salinity (S), oxygen concentration (O 2 ), nitrate (NO 3 − ). Therefore, regionally specific empirical models can be developed, which relate parameters to a...
