Aragonite saturation state indicates emerging ocean acidification hotspots in the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay along the Southeast Coast of India
The impact of ocean acidification (OA) on seawater carbonate chemistry, particularly on the aragonite saturation state (Ωarag), is inadequately understood in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM) and Palk Bay (PB). In this study, we analyzed the spatial and temporal variability of Ωarag to pinpoint potential ocean acidification hot...
