Summary
Annual mean sea surface anthropogenic dissolved inorganic carbon concentration for the present day (1990s) from the Global Ocean Data Analysis Project climatology (the signal of anthropogenic DIC was separated from background, natural DIC by a mathematical technique ). DIC here is in mmol kg−1 of seawater. It is plotted here using a Mollweide projection (using MATLAB and the M_Map package).

Note that the GLODAP climatology is missing data in certain oceanic provinces including the Arctic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and the Malay Archipelago.
