“…This mechanism was proposed in the GBR and Ningaloo Reef, Australia, where both DIC cf (Figures 2b, 3a, 3b, and S1b in Supporting Information ) and DIC cf /seawater dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC sw ) display a strong positive relationship with temperature (M. T. McCulloch et al., 2017). This pH seasonality is consistent amongst a wide range of reefs, including the GBR, Coral Sea, Western Australia, Caribbean, and Central Pacific (Chalk et al., 2021; D’Olivo & McCulloch, 2017; D’Olivo et al., 2019; Hemming et al., 1998; Knebel et al., 2021; M. T. McCulloch et al., 2017; Pelejero et al., 2005; Ross et al., 2019). However, all of these sites have fundamentally different dynamics than in the Galápagos, where the cool season experiences upwelling of DIC‐rich waters (Kessler, 2006, Figures 3a and 3b) that impacts the seasonality of CF chemistry.…”
