Dynamics and drivers of the carbonate system: response to terrestrial runoff and upwelling along the Northeastern Colombian Caribbean coast by Constanza Ricaurte-Villota, Magnolia Murcia-Riaño, José Martín Hernádez-Ayón

“…IntroductionThis study investigated the variability and main drivers of the carbonate system in Gayraca Bay and Chengue Bay, located on the northeastern Caribbean coast of Colombia, through monthly measurements of partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2), pH, total alkalinity (TA), and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from 2017 to 2022. Statistical analyses and Taylor series decomposition were employed to determine the seasonal and interannual contributions of sea surface temperature, salinity, TA, and DIC to changes in pCO2, pH, and calcium carbonate saturation state (Ω).ResultsThe results showed significant seasonal variability influenced by annual changes in coastal upwelling, rainfall, and river runoff. …”
