Description:
Detecting regional anthropogenic trends in ocean acidification against natural variability Nature Climate Change 2, 167 22012012 doi: 10.1038/nclimate1372 T. Friedrich A. Timmermann A. Abe-Ouchi N. R. Bates M. O. Chikamoto M. J. Church J. E. Dore D. K. Gledhill M. González-Dávila M. Heinemann T. Ilyina J. H. Jungclaus E. McLeod A. Mouchet J. M. Santana-Casiano Increasing carbon dioxide emissions since the beginning of the industrial revolution have caused widespread ocean acidification and concomitant changes in ocean chemistry, with potential ramifications for major marine ecosystems. A study shows that recent trends in ocean acidification are detectable against natural variability with virtual certainty, even on regional scales.
