Must read paper on pCO₂ measurements, especially for MRV of mCDR. Some key points:

Equilibrator-based instruments require more expertise but give much better results.

For membrane/in situ instruments, you could get significantly different results from instruments from the same manufacturer. 🙀🌊

For those who are not marine chemists, this is the easiest way to see how adding alkalinity to the ocean lowers pCO₂ without changing dissolved inorganic carbon and potentially allows the ocean to take up more atmospheric CO₂. 🌊

The image depicts a phase diagram illustrating the relationship between total alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon in aquatic systems. Key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and CaCO₃ formation and dissolution are labeled, with arrows indicating the directions of alkalinity addition.

How does ocean acidification affect coccolithophores? 🌊:
(i) High CO2 (low pH) reduces growth rates by up to 87% (Ghux).
(i) Coccolith formation is disrupted with malformed structures at extreme pH (C. braarudii).
(ii) Carbon export capacity declines as PIC:POC ratios drop.

Today, Wally Broecker would have been 93. He was obsessed with abrupt climate change that arrives suddenly and dramatically.

He likened the climate system to an "angry beast", and said we shouldn't poke it (i.e., keep emitting CO₂) because we don't know how and when it'll react.

We should listen.

A cartoon depicting a person (labeled “us”) poking an illustrated green dragon labeled "ANGRY BEAST" with a stick. The quote from Wally Broecker, "Climate is an angry beast and we are poking at it with sticks," is included at the top.
