Where:
Canth =
Anthropogenic carbon concentration
Cm = Measured
total carbon concentration
DCbio = Change in TCO2 as a result of
biological activity
Ceq280 = TCO2 of waters in equilibrium with an atmospheric CO2 of 280 µatm
D C diseq =
Air-sea difference in CO2 concentration expressed in µmol kg-1 of TCO2

Canth = Cm - DCbio - Ceq280 – D C diseq
DC* = Cm - DCbio - Ceq280 = Canth + D C diseq
