Global variability and changes in ocean total alkalinity from Aquarius satellite data - AGU Publications

This study examines global variability and changes in ocean total alkalinity utilizing data from the Aquarius satellite. By analyzing longitudinal measurements, the research provides empirical insights into how alkalinity levels are shifting across various oceanic regions. Total alkalinity is a critical climate indicator, influencing carbon cycling and ocean health. The findings underscore the importance of integrated data ecosystems in understanding ocean chemistry, highlighting the necessity for coordinated global efforts in monitoring and managing oceanic changes effectively.
