Dynamics of dissolved inorganic carbon in the Midriff Islands region of the Gulf of California: Influence of water masses

In the Midriff Islands region (MIR) of the Gulf of California (Mexico), tidal mixing plays a very important role in the distribution of chemical properties. Although the temporal variability of the water masses is linked to the ocean dynamics of this region, its importance has not been considered. T...
