Spatial distribution of ocean surface DIC [1]
Spatial distributions of DIC and nDIC. (a) DIC (normalized to year 2005); (b) salinity-normalized DIC (nDIC, DIC normalized to reference year of 2005 and salinity of 35) in the surface global ocean. The latitudinal trends are clear, particularly for nDIC.Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) is the sum of the inorganic carbon species in a solution. Carbon compounds can be distinguished as either organic or inorganic, and as dissolved or particulate, depending on their composition. Organic carbon forms the backbone of key component of organic compounds such as – proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Inorganic carbon is found primarily in simple compounds such as carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, bicarbonate, and carbonate (CO2, H2CO3, HCO3−, CO32− respectively). Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) includes three major aqueous species, CO2, HCO3- ,CO32−, and to a lesser extent their complexes in solution with metal ions.[2]
