The study, which has been published in the current issue of the international journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), reveals a clear acidification trend, but also
strong seasonal fluctuations.
Not to just change the subject from your important point, but the paper Zeke references makes clear that there is
a strong seasonal fluctuation of about 0.4 degF in the differences between LIG and MMTS sensors that the idea of using one adjustment for all season would be wrong.

The farther north a CO2 reading is made, the wider it swings with the seasons Continue reading Why are
Seasonal CO2
Fluctuations Strongest at Northern Latitudes?
Changes in the watershed can, for example, lead to changes in alkalinity and CO2 fluxes that, together with metabolic processes and oceanic dynamics, yield high - magnitude decadal changes of up to 0.5 units in coastal pH. Metabolism results in
strong diel to
seasonal fluctuations in pH, with characteristic ranges of 0.3 pH units, with metabolically intense habitats exceeding this range on a daily basis.
