Dataset: add a bit about omega calcium carbonate; there's a diagram of this so some explanation seems necessary
Dataset: add URL

Additionally, analysis has attempted to separate natural from anthropogenic DIC, to produce fields of pre-[[industrial revolution|industrial]] (18th century) DIC and "present day" anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub>. This separation allows estimation of the magnitude of the ocean [[carbon dioxide sink|sink]] for anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub>, and is important for studies of phenomena such as [[ocean acidification]].<ref name=orr05>Orr, J.

This uses information about ocean [[biogeochemistry]] and CO<sub>2</sub> surface disequilibrium together with other ocean tracers including carbon-14, CFC-11 and CFC-12 (which indicate [[water mass]] age) to try to separate out natural CO<sub>2</sub> from that added during the ongoing anthropogenic transient. The technique is not straightforward and has associated errors, although it is gradually being refined to improve it. Its findings are generally supported by independent predictions made by dynamic models.<ref name=orr05/><ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Matsumoto | first1 = K. | last2 = Gruber | first2 = N. | title = How accurate is the estimation of anthropogenic carbon in the ocean?

The GLODAPv2 climatology largely repeats the earlier format, but makes use of the large number of observations of the ocean's carbon cycle made over the intervening period (2000—2013).<ref name="olsen2016">{{cite journal |last1=Olsen |first1=A. |last2=Key |first2=R.M. |last3=van Heuven |first3=S. |last4=Lauvset |first4=S.K. |last5=Velo |first5=A. |last6=Lin |first6=X. |last7=Schirnick |first7=C. |last8=Kozyr |first8=A. |last9=Tanhua |first9=T. |last10=Hoppema |first10=M. |last11=Jutterström |first11=S. |last12=Steinfeldt |first12=R. |last13=Jeansson |first13=E. |last14=Ishii |first14=M. |last15=Pérez |first15=F.F. |last16=Suzuki |first16=T. |date=2016 |title=The Global Ocean Data Analysis Project version 2 (GLODAPv2) – an internally consistent data product for the world ocean |url=https://www.earth-syst-sci-data.net/8/297/2016/ |journal=Earth System Science Data |volume=8 |issue= |pages=297-323 |doi=10.5194/essd-8-297-2016 |access-date=2018-07-02 |bibcode=2016ESSD....8..297O }}</ref><ref name="lauvset2016">{{cite journal |last1=Lauvset |first1=S.K. |last2=Key |first2=R.M. |last3=Olsen |first3=A. |last4=van Heuven |first4=S. |last5=Velo |first5=A. |last6=Lin |first6=X. |last7=Schirnick |first7=C. |last8=Kozyr |first8=A. |last9=Tanhua |first9=T. |last10=Hoppema |first10=M. |last11=Jutterström |first11=S. |last12=Steinfeldt |first12=R. |last13=Jeansson |first13=E. |last14=Ishii |first14=M. |last15=Pérez |first15=F.F. |last16=Suzuki |first16=T. |last17=Watelet |first17=S. |date=2016 |title=A new global interior ocean mapped climatology: the 1° ×  1° GLODAP version 2 |url=https://www.earth-syst-sci-data.net/8/325/2016/ |journal=Earth System Science Data |volume=8 |issue= |pages=325-340 |doi=10.5194/essd-8-325-2016 |access-date=2018-07-02 |bibcode=2016ESSD....8..325L }}</ref> The analysed "present-day" fields in the resulting dataset are [[Normalization (statistics)|normalised]] to year 2002.

The latter is a non-dimensional number calculated by dividing the local [[carbonate]] ion concentration by the ambient saturation concentration for calcium carbonate (for the [[Biomineralization|biomineral]] [[Polymorphism (materials science)|polymorphs]] [[calcite]] and [[aragonite]]). Values of this below 1 indicate [[undersaturation]], and potential dissolution, while values above 1 indicate [[supersaturation]], and relative stability.
