OceanSODA-UNEXE: a multi-year gridded Amazon and Congo River outflow surface ocean carbonate system dataset

Abstract p CO 2 µ mol kg - 1 (weighted root-mean-squared difference, RMSD, of 35 µ mol kg - 1 and weighted bias of 8 µ mol kg - 1 for n = µ mol kg - 1 for DIC (weighted RMSD of 44 µ mol kg - 1 and weighted bias of - µ mol kg - 1 for n = p CO 2 µ atm and 0.08, respectively, where the pH uncertainty was relative to an average pH of 8.19. In the Congo outflow, the combined uncertainty for TA was identified as 29 µ mol kg - 1 (weighted RMSD of 28 µ mol kg - 1 and weighted bias of 6 µ mol kg - 1 for n = µ mol kg - 1 for DIC (weighted RMSD of 37 µ mol kg - 1 and weighted bias of - µ mol kg - 1 for n = p CO 2 µ atm and 0.08, respectively, where the pH uncertainty was relative to an average pH of 8.21. The combined uncertainties in TA and DIC in the Amazon and Congo outflows are lower than the natural variability within their respective regions, allowing the time-varying regional variability to be evaluated. Potential uses of these data would be the assessment of the spatial and temporal flow of carbon from the Amazon and Congo rivers into the Atlantic and the assessment of the riverine-driven carbonate system variations experienced by tropical reefs within the outflow regions. The data presented in this work are available at 10.1594/PANGAEA.946888 (Sims et al., 2023).
