Using present-day observations to detect when anthropogenic change forces surface ocean carbonate chemistry outside preindustrial bounds

One of the major challenges to assessing the impact of ocean acidification on marine life is detecting and interpreting long-term change in the context of natural variability. This study addresses this need through a global synthesis of monthly pH and aragonite saturation state (Ω<sub>arag<...
