Secular trends and seasonal variations of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the surface sea water in the Australian secutor of the Southern Ocean
In order to elucidate the secular trends of oceanic CO_2 uptake in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, pCO_2, the partial pressure of CO_2 in the ocean surface layer, has been measured since 1987 on board the icebreaker Shirase. Meridional distributions of pCO_2 along 110゜E in early December cl...
