Ocean acidification historical reconstruction

Inorganic Carbon Sea Surface Salinity Sea Surface Temperature Hard coral cover and composition

This dataset contains the reconstructed time series of monthly mean aragonite, calcite and pH together with distribution of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (ALK), sea surface temperature and salinity in the Australian region at a 1 degree resolution over the period 1870-2013.
