Alkalinity distribution in the western North Atlantic Ocean margins (original) (raw)

This study investigates the distribution of total alkalinity (TA) in the ocean margins of the western North Atlantic, emphasizing its role in the global carbon cycle. It identifies critical gaps in the understanding of alkalinity transport and export, particularly in the context of riverine contributions and oceanic preservation. By examining data from various transects and past studies, the research aims to provide a systematic overview of alkalinity distribution in these regions, highlighting the implications for ocean acidification and carbonate balance.
