TLDR
The fugacity of CO2 [fCO2 (water)] and air-water CO2 flux were compared between a river-dominated anthropogenically disturbed open estuary, the Hugli and a comparatively pristine mangrove dominated semi-closed marine estuary on the east coast of India as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
The fugacity of CO2 [fCO2 (water)] and air-water CO2 flux were compared between a river-dominated anthropogenically disturbed open estuary, the Hugli and a comparatively pristine mangrove dominated semi-closed marine estuary, the Matla on the east coast of India Annual mean salinity of the Hugli Estuary (≈ 71) was much less compared to the Matla Estuary (≈ 200) All the stations of the Hugli Estuary were highly supersaturated with CO2 (annual mean ~ 2200 µatm) whereas, the Matla was marginally oversaturated (annual mean ~ 530 µatm) During the post-monsoon season, the outer station of the Matla Estuary was under saturated with respect to CO2 and acted as a sink The annual mean CO2 emission from the Hugli Estuary (324 mol C m-2 yr-1) was 14 times higher than the Matla Estuary (23 mol C m-2 yr-1) CO2 efflux rate from the Hugli Estuary has increased drastically in the last decade, which is attributed to increased runoff from the river-dominated estuaryread more

Gas transfer velocities of CO_2 in three European estuaries (Randers Fjord, Scheldt and Thames)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the flux of CO 2 across the air-water interface using the floating chamber method in three European estuaries with contrasting physical characteristics (Randers Fjord, Scheldt, and Thames).

Watershed-Scale Drivers of Air-Water CO2 Exchanges in Two Lagoonal North Carolina (USA) Estuaries
Bryce Van Dam,Joseph R. Crosswell,Joseph R. Crosswell,Joseph R. Crosswell,Iris C. Anderson,Hans W. Paerl +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, watershed-scale mechanisms responsible for relatively low CO2 fluxes observed in two microtidal, lagoonal estuaries were quantified with 74 high-resolution spatial surveys in the neighboring New River Estuary (NewRE) and Neuse River Estulation (NeuseRE), North Carolina, which experience a common climatology but differ in marine versus riverine influence.

Carbon biogeochemistry and CO 2 emissions in a human impacted and mangrove dominated tropical estuary (Can Gio, Vietnam)
Frank David,Tarik Meziane,Nhu-Trang Tran-Thi,Vinh Truong Van,Vinh Truong Van,Nguyen Thanh-Nho,Nguyen Thanh-Nho,Pierre Taillardat,Cyril Marchand,Cyril Marchand +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the seasonal and spatial variations of carbon biogeochemistry downstream of Ho Chi Minh City (Southern Vietnam) were investigated, and it was shown that releases from mangrove soils affect the water column pCO2 in this large tropical estuary (~600m wide and 10-20m deep).

Carbon dioxide in water and seawater: the solubility of a non-ideal gas
TL;DR: In this paper, the solubility coefficients for carbon dioxide in water and seawater are calculated for the data of Murray and Riley, and are fitted to equations in temperature and salinity of the form used previously to fit solubilities of other gases.

TL;DR: The unaccounted carbon sink is conservatively estimated at 112 ± 85 Tg C a 1, equivalent in magnitude to 30-40% of the global riverine organic carbon input to the coastal zone as mentioned in this paper.
