solubility_of_carbon_dioxide_in_sea_water mol kg-1 Pa-1
The solubility coefficient K0 of carbon dioxide in sea water, i.e. the ratio of the concentration of dissolved molecular carbon dioxide to the fugacity of carbon dioxide in the air with which the sea water is in equilibrium, at the temperature and salinity of the sea water. The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO2.
