Excess pCO2 and carbonate system geochemistry in surface seawater of the exclusive economic zone of Qatar (Arabian Gulf) by Connor, Izumi

“…Salinity-normalized (to S = 40) total alkalinity (NTA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (NDIC) in surface seawater decrease as waters flow north from Hormuz. The slope suggests that removal of C as CaCO3, organic matter (CH2O) or gas exchange (FCO2) is occurring with a ratio of ΔCaCO3/(ΔCH2O or FCO2) = 1:2.86. …”
