Summary

This is the 2020 annual report from the programs: ‘Monitoring ocean acidification in Norwegian waters’ and ‘Monitoring of ocean acidification in the coastal zone’ funded by the Norwegian Environment Agency. The measurements are performed by the Institute of Marine Research, NORCE Norwegian Research Centre, Norwegian Institute for Water Research, Univsersity of Bergen, and Akvaplan-niva. The measurements are collected in coastal waters as well as in open ocean and are from the Skagerrak, the Norwegian Sea, and the seasonally ice-covered Barents Sea. This report presents data from 2020 in addition to some time series data for the period 2010-2020.
