Abstract. Rapid climate warming and sea-ice loss have induced major changes in the sea surface partial pressure of CO2 (𝑝CO2). However, the long-term trends in the western Arctic Ocean are unknown. Here we show that in 1994–2017, summer 𝑝CO2 in the Canada Basin increased at twice the rate of atmospheric increase.
