Henry’s law and observations estimate a 16 ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 from the oceans with a 1 degree K temperature increase.

angech, One last point on the low diurnal variability of sea surface temperatures: Hurricanes do not go to sleep at night.

Ken Fritsch (Comment #225874), CO2 does not obey Henry’s Law since it reacts with water. Your statement is too terse to otherwise admit of comment.

Lucia, I assume to test your modeling that you will be using a Gaussian distribution for other1 and other2 even though what you propose may be included in others would not necessarily present one. The...

From the available evidence it is quite clear that human emissions are the main cause of the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere. There is a small influence of temperature on this increase, as warmer...

Ken Fritsch (Comment #225878) quoting Engelbeen: The very long term influence of temperature on CO2 levels (Vostok ice core) is about 8 ppmv/K for Antarctic temperatures. That nicely coincides with...

Mike M, “the diurnal variations are essentially confined to the top 1.5 m and are typically just a couple tenths of a degree, but occasionally much larger. And that is in a sea chosen for the study...

Engelbeen does not gives details, refers to Henry’s Law, which is not really applicable, and treats the dependence as linear rather than logarithmic. All of that gives me pause. . On the other hand,...

Mike M, ” Also, 5 K is probably to high a T change; ocean T changes quite a bit less than land, it might be as low as 3 K in the tropics” . Yes, in part because when you have sea level that is 140...

In seawater, the relevant reaction for dissolving CO2 is CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CO3=(aq) = 2HCO3-(aq) The equilibrium constant is H*Ka1/Ka2 where H = Henry’s constant, T dependence of 2.7%/K Ka1 = first...

I found slightly different numbers for carbonate and bicarbonate in a different table. They give a T dependence of 3.4%/K for the dilute solution equilibrium constant. That is close enough to the...
