Parameters

Supplied Name	Supplied description	Supplied Units	Standard Name
Seawater	Seawater type - Non-acidified or acidified seawater	text	no_bcodmo_term
Event	Event/Activity	text	event
Fluid	Fluid type - SW = seawater; CF = calcifying fluid	text	no_bcodmo_term
Sal	Sal = salinity	psu	sal
T	T = temperature	degrees celsius	no_bcodmo_term
pH	pH	sea water scale	no_bcodmo_term
TA	TA = total alkalinity	micromol/kg-SW	no_bcodmo_term
DIC	DIC = dissolved inorganic carbon	micromol/kg-SW	DIC
pCO2	pCO₂ = partial pressure of CO₂ of air in equilibrium with fluid ppm; pCO₂ of SW and CF are assumed to be equivalent on the premise that SW is the ultimate source of CF	ppm	no_bcodmo_term
HCO3_minus	[HCO₃^-] = bicarbonate ion concentration of fluid	micromol/kg-SW	no_bcodmo_term
CO32_minus	[CO₃^2-] = carbonate ion concentration of fluid	micromol/kg-SW	no_bcodmo_term
CO2_aq	[CO₂]_aq = CO₂ concentration of fluid	micromol/kg-SW	no_bcodmo_term
OmegaA	Ω_A = saturation state of fluid with respect to aragonite	(tbd)	no_bcodmo_term
Hplus	[H⁺] = proton concentration of fluid	micromol/kg-SW	no_bcodmo_term
Hplus_minus_removed	[H⁺]-removed = [H⁺]-removed from calcifying fluid; calculated from difference between total alkalinity of SW and CF after H⁺-removal assuming composition of CF before H⁺-removal is equivalent to that of external SW	micromol/kg-SW	no_bcodmo_term
Hplus_E_to_Hplus_I	[H⁺^E/[H⁺]I = ratio of external seawater [H⁺] to calcifying fluid [H⁺]_I	ratio	no_bcodmo_term
