Sea-ice melt CO<sub>2</sub>–carbonate chemistry in the western Arctic Ocean: meltwater contributions to air–sea CO<sub>2</sub> gas exchange, mixed-layer properties and rates of net community production under sea ice

The carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>)-carbonate chemistry of sea-ice melt and co-located, contemporaneous seawater has rarely been studied in sea-ice-covered oceans. Here, we describe the CO<sub>2</sub>–carbonate chemistry of sea-ice melt (both above sea-ice as "melt ponds...
