Oceanographic measurements were conducted in the vicinity of the Mertz Polynya, encompassing 2 consecutive seasonal cycles from 1998 to 2000. In the southern winter of 1999, a total of 92 CTD/LADCP vertical profile stations were taken, most to within 20 m of the bottom…

Adding carbon dioxide (CO2) to the ocean alters the carbonate chemistry and lowers pH, making surface waters more acidic and decreasing the carbonate ions available to calcifiers for calcite and aragonite production.
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide has been accumulating in the … oceans, lowering both the concentration of carbonate ions … and the pH (ref. 1), resulting in the acidification of sea … water.
Anthropogenic CO2 added to the atmosphere during and since the industrial revolution is entering the global ocean. Addition of extra (anthropogenic) CO2 to the ocean changes the carbonate chemistry and the pH of the surface ocean…
Laboratory experiments suggest that decreased ocean carbonate-ion concentrations due to anthropogenic CO2 will result in reduced calcification rates in marine calcareous organisms.
