CO2 flux behavior in the maritorium of San Andres Islands on 2019

Abstract

This document estimated the behavior of the CO2 flux in the San Andres Islas maritime for the first half of 2019. This behavior was established based on the thermodynamic relationship between the sea surface temperature, the partial pressures of CO2 in the atmosphere and the water column, this from data derived from remote sensors. The satellite data were derived from the MODIS aqua sensors and the MERRA model for sea surface temperature and wind speed respectively. Satellite images were obtained from NASA databases, subsequently processed and specialized in ArcGis 10.1. Finally, the behavior of the CO2 flux is shown for the San Andres Islas maritime, finding that it does not have a tendency to capture CO2, so acidification processes are discarded for the selected study period.
