6 páginas, 5 figuras, 1 tabla.-- Proyecto Carbochange.-- Open access Global ocean acidification is caused primarily by the ocean’s uptake of CO2 as a consequence of increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. We present observations of the oceanic decrease in pH at the basin scale (50°S–36°N) for the Atlanti...
