| Summary: | These data comprise the locations and methods of ocean and coastal acidification monitoring in the Mid-Atlantic. As there is no widely accepted method yet to measure acidification (CO3-2) directly, it is calculated from two of the four commonly measured carbonate system parameters (pH, pCO2, dissolved inorganic carbon [DIC] and total alkalinity [TA]) with known thermodynamic constants. This dataset is meant to compile information about the sites that monitor acidification to assist in the development of a robust monitoring network in the Mid-Atlantic as per the goals of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Acidification Network (MACAN) and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Ocean Action Plan. This map does not compile the monitoring data itself, but does link to the monitoring data when it is publicly available. The data come from a variety of publicly available sources including state governments and academic institutions, as well as from a 2022 MACAN survey of the Coastal and Ocean Acidification (COA) monitoring community. ... |
