Validated: 10/21/23 Source: GCOS-245: The 2022 ECVs Requirements (GCOS-245)
General Comment: In GCOS IP 2022, there are two extra variables (alkalinity and pCO2) complementary to the DIC. Confidence: reasonable
Def: :Not firm, but based on a strong heritage of experiments with similar data
Application Area Comment: Horizontal Coverage Comment:
Observation Comment: Uncertainty should be micromol and not mol/Kg Performance Comment:
