Abstract
    Novel SMOS satellite estimates of Sea Surface salinity in the Mediterranean Sea will be used to infer the spatial and temporal distribution of Alkalinity in this basin, exploiting the direct relationship between salinity and alkalinity. A proper validation of the derived variable will be performed against in-situ data, climatologies and model outputs. The resulting estimates of alkalinity in the Mediterranean Sea will be linked to the overall carbonate system in the broader context of ocean acidification assessment.
