Surface maps and basin mean/total of annual mean surface alkalinity, pH (total scale) and CO2 air-sea flux of the Mediterranean Sea under different alkalinisation scenarios and for underlying the baseline projection (RCP4.5). Details on simulations and alkalinisation strategies are given in the reference article below. Reference: Butenschön, M., Lovato, T., Masina, S., Caserini, S., Grosso, M., 2021.
