| cf_standard_name | surface_partial_pressure_of_carbon_dioxide_in_sea_water |
| description | The surface called "surface" means the lower boundary of the atmosphere. The partial pressure of a dissolved gas in sea water is the partial pressure in air with which it would be in equilibrium. The partial pressure of a gaseous constituent of air is the pressure which it alone would exert with unchanged temperature and number of moles per unit volume. The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO2. |
