Short summary

In the fall of 2014, the upwelling of water from the deep Canada Basin brought water onto the shallower Mackenzie Shelf in the Beaufort Sea. This increased the concentration of CO₂ in water on the shelf, which alters pH and changes the transfer of CO₂ between the ocean and atmosphere. These findings were a combined result of water sampling for CO₂ parameters and the use of a computer model that simulates water movement in the ocean.
