Abstract
A study is made of how the solubility products of carbonate sediments in sea water are dependent on temperature and pressure. The assumption that bottom water is in chemical equilibrium with calcite and aragonite makes it possible to obtain average solubility products for the World Ocean from measurements on the alkaline reserve and the concentrations of calcium and dissolved inorganic carbon found under field conditions. The results are required in estimating the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration as influenced by the temperatures of surface and bottom waters.
