Sentences with phrase «coastal zones behave»

Not exact matches

Calculations to resolve the anthropogenic component of CO2 are remarkably difficult for the coastal ocean, where the assumptions of the various methods (Sabine and Tanhua 2010) are not met, thereby precluding a direct calculation of the effect of anthropogenic CO2 on observed trends in coastal pH. Calculations based on mixing between an open - ocean end - member displaying the trajectories predicted from OA and the freshwater end - member are also unreliable because pH and the carbon system do not necessarily behave conservatively within the coastal zone and because the freshwater end - member may also shift into the future.
