Ocean salinity from satellite-derived temperature in the Antarctic Ocean
The aim of the MINERVE project (Mesures a l'INterface Eau-aiR de la Variabilite des Echanges de CO2) is to observe and understand the seasonal and interannual variability of the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO(2)) in surface waters using hydrological and biogeochemical data in the Southern Ocean s...
