Record Title : Surface Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide Natural Analogue in Sea Water

CF Standard Name : surface_partial_pressure_of_carbon_dioxide_natural_analogue_in_sea_water

Record Description : The chemical formula for carbon dioxide is CO2. In ocean biogeochemistry models, a "natural analogue" is used to simulate the effect on a modelled variable of imposing preindustrial atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, even when the model as a whole may be subjected to varying forcings. 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 that it would exert if all other gaseous constituents were removed, assuming the volume, the temperature, and its number of moles remain unchanged.
