In the summer of 2005, we sampled surface water and measured pH and total alkalinity (A T ) underway aboard IB Oden along the Northwest Passage from Cape Farewell (South Greenland) to the Chukchi Sea. We investigated the variability of carbonate system parameters, focusing particularly on carbonate...
