Abstract
Variability of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and the fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO(2)) is discussed for tropical East Atlantic surface waters in October-November 1993 and May-June 1994. High precipitation associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone, river input and equatorial upwelling a ffected the content of DIC and fCO(2) of these tropical surface waters. Ind ividual hydrographic regions had a characteristic CO2-chemistry. (C) 1999 E lsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
