Lagoons are recognized as significant CO 2 sources in the global carbon cycle. However, the lack of comprehensive measurements capturing simultaneous spatiotemporal variations in partial pressure of CO 2 ( p CO 2 ) limits our understanding of mechanisms driving CO 2 dynamics in lagoons. In this study, autonomous buoys were deployed at five stations across Chiku Lagoon (Taiwan) during the wet season, continuously measuring temp...

The atmospheric partial pressure of CO 2 ( p CO 2 ) has been increasing dramatically since the beginning of the industrial revolution and about 30% of the CO 2 produced by anthropogenic activities was absorbed by the ocean. This led to a perturbation of the seawater carbonate chemistry resulting in a decrease of the average surface ocean pH by 0.1 and termed ocean acidification (OA). Projections suggest that p CO 2 may reach 9...
