Progression of Ocean Interior Acidification over the Industrial Era from 1800-07-01 to 2014-06-30 (NCEI Accession 0298993)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-11-14T00:00:00.000+00:00
This dataset consists of time-resolved reconstructions of ocean interior acidification from 1800 through 1994, 2004, and 2014. The basis of these reconstructions are observation-based estimates of the accumulation of anthropogenic carbon, combined with climatologies of hydrographic and biogeochemical properties in the ocean interior. Acidification trends are determined for several parameters of the marine CO2 system, namely the saturation state of aragonite (Ωarag), the carbonate ion concentration ([CO32-]), the free proton concentration ([H+]), and pH on the total scale (pHT). The underlying anthropogenic carbon concentration (ΔCant), the computed sensitivities of the four marine CO2 system parameters and their absolute state estimates are provided as well. The datasets contain in addition to the standard estimate also 14 sensitivity cases, which are intended to assess the robustness of our acidification estimates to changes in the estimation procedure of ΔCant as well as the climatological distributions of other hydrographic properties. All estimates are provided on a horizontal grid with 1° x 1° resolution and for 28 depth layers from 0 - 3000m. These data provide strong constraints on ocean interior acidification over the industrial era, unravelling in particular its progression since 1994.
