Variable: Ocean acidification

QoG Code: (ohi_caacid)


Dataset: The Ocean Health Index Data

Description:

Ocean acidification. The Ocean acidification layer models the difference in global distribution changes in the aragonite saturation state (Ωarag) between pre-industrial (~1870) and modern times (2000-2009) as a proxy for ocean acidification due to human influences.
