Partial Pressure of CO2 in Sea Water

The surface water CO2 partial pressure (PCO2) grid stations in the Bohai Sea in August, 2006 and in Laizhou Bay in July, 2005, was used to discuss the distribution of the Pco (Fig- 2.2, Zhang and Zhang, 2008). 

Estuaries are known for significant supersaturation of CO2 with respect to the atmosphere. The value of Pco2 in the Huanghe River Estuary and
