Short summary
We improve coastal ocean carbonate system estimates by assimilating glider pH and alkalinity data into a regional biogeochemical model. Joint assimilation with physical observations successfully improves pH estimates while maintaining physical estimates. A hybrid approach combining dynamical models with statistical methods produces accurate pH estimates without requiring biogeochemical models, offering an alternative solution for ocean acidification monitoring.
