5 key concepts of the Carbonate Equilibrium
|
•Major buffer system influencing pH (master variable)
•Cycle undergoing significant anthropogenic perturbation (mostly fossil fuel burning) •Oceanic Carbonate System control atmospheric C02 on >1000 year timescales •Linked to geological, biological and climatological cycles •Complex chemistry involving gaseous, dissolved, and solid phases |

CA =
(carbonate alkalinity) |
CA = [HCO3-] + 2[CO32-]
