Calcium carbonate precipitation in sea ice can increase p CO 2 during precipitation in winter and decrease p CO 2 during dissolution in spring. CaCO 3 precipitation in sea ice is thought to potentially drive significant CO 2 uptake by the ocean. However, little is known about the quantitative spatia...
