[Coral-List] Dissolved Carbon Dioxide

[Stuart P. Wynne]

Dear all,

 

I am wondering if any of you have dissolved carbon dioxide data for
anywhere in the Caribbean. Here in Anguilla we have just started a water
monitoring programme, and are finding dissolved carbon dioxide levels to
be somewhat higher than might be expected. Having said this, as the
Caribbean has some volcanism maybe these levels are perfectly normal for
the region. Most of our results to date are in excess of 50mg/L.
