Seafloor Omega Aragonite (ΩARAG)

<div>Aragonite is the primary mineral in cool water marine environments. Aragonite saturation state is a function of carbonate ion concentration and used to track ocean acidification. Aragonite is used by marine life “calcifiers,” organisms that construct their shells and skeletons from the mineral. Coral reefs are mainly found in regions where open ocean aragonite saturation is 3.0 or higher.  </div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Phenomenon Mapped:</b> Seafloor Omega Aragonite</div><div><b>Units: </b><span style='line-height: 16.3636px;'>Omega(</span><span style='line-height: 16.3636px;'>Ω) - </span><span style='line-height: 16.3636px;'>C</span><span style='line-height: 16.3636px;'>alculated saturation state</span></div><div><span style='line-height: 1.38462;'><b>Cell Size:</b> 30 arc seconds, approximately 1 km</span></div><div style='color: rgb(77, 77, 77); margin: 0px; padding: 0px;'><b>Source Type: </b>Discrete</div><div><b>Pixel Type: </b><span style='color: rgb(77, 77, 77); line-height: 1.38462;'>Unsigned integer</span></div><div><b>Spatial Reference: </b>GCS_WGS_1984<br /></div><div><b>Mosaic Projection:</b> Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere</div><div><b>Extent</b>: Global oceans</div><div><span style='background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'><b>Source:</b> </span><a href='https://marine-conservation.org/' rel='nofollow ugc' style='line-height: 1.38462;' target='_blank'>Marine Conservation Institute (MCI)</a></div><div><span style='background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'><b>Citation:</b> Orr JC, Fabry VJ, Aumont O, Bopp L, Doney SC, et al.
