Decadal changes of carbon dioxide in the Southern North Sea

Since late 2000, we have acquired partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) data underway with an equilibrator coupled to an infra-red gas analyser on all the cruises carried out on RV Belgica. Here, we discuss the decadal changes of pCO2 during winter-time in the Southern North Sea. The trends are faster than...

Description
Summary:Since late 2000, we have acquired partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) data underway with an equilibrator coupled to an infra-red gas analyser on all the cruises carried out on RV Belgica. Here, we discuss the decadal changes of pCO2 during winter-time in the Southern North Sea. The trends are faster than those reported in open oceanic waters, although strongly modulated by inter-annual variability that seems to be related to the North Atlantic Oscillation.
