Disparate acidification and calcium carbonate desaturation of deep and shallow waters of the Arctic Ocean
Anthropogenic CO2is acidifying the Arctic Ocean surface, with current models predicting downward penetration to deep waters. Here, based on an alternative model supported by available saturation data, the authors show simultaneous acidification of both surface and deep waters.
