Solubility Pump
In the ‘solubility pump’ CO2 is transferred from the air to the sea by gas exchange as DIC (CO2 plus bicarbonate and carbonate ions) ==>

Global Conveyor Belt
The oceans of the world are a continuous body of water with an integrated circulation system, driven by variations in temperature and salinity usually called the global conveyor. ==>

Acidification
The oceans cover over two-thirds of the Earth's surface. They play a vital role in global biogeochemical cycles, contribute enormously to the planet's biodiversity ==>
