摘要

A compilation of data from several cruises between 1998 and 2013 was used to derivepolynomial fits that estimate total alkalinity (AT) and totaldissolved inorganic carbon (CT) from measurements of salinity andtemperature in the Mediterranean Sea surface waters. The optimal equationswere chosen based on the 10-fold cross-validation results and revealed thatsecond- and third-order polynomials fit the AT and CTdata respectively. The AT surface fit yielded a root mean squareerror (RMSE) of ± 10.6 μmol kg?1, and salinity andtemperature contribute to 96 % of the variability. Furthermore, we presentthe first annual mean CT parameterization for the MediterraneanSea surface waters with a RMSE of ± 14.3 μmol kg?1.Excluding the marginal seas of the Adriatic and the Aegean, these equationscan be used to estimate AT and CT in case of the lackof measurements. The identified empirical equations were applied on the0.25° climatologies of temperature and salinity, available from theWorld Ocean Atlas 2013. The 7-year averages (2005–2012) showed thatAT and CT have similar patterns with an increasingeastward gradient. The variability is influenced by the inflow of coldAtlantic waters through the Strait of Gibraltar and by the oligotrophic andthermohaline gradient that characterize the Mediterranean Sea. Thesummer–winter seasonality was also mapped and showed different patterns forAT and CT. During the winter, the AT andCT concentrations were higher in the western than in the easternbasin. The opposite was observed in the summer where the eastern basin wasmarked by higher AT and CT concentrations than inwinter. The strong evaporation that takes place in this season along with theultra-oligotrophy of the eastern basin determines the increase of bothAT and CT concentrations.
