Diurnal observation is necessary for grasping the variability of carbonate system in coastal waters and sea-air CO2 exchange process and is helpful to reduce the uncertainty of assessments for carbon source/sink. Surface carbonate system and related parameters were obtained during twice 24 hours fixed sampling and observation conducted in April and August 2018 in the Yingluo Bay-Anpu Harbor, located in the northeastern Beibu Gulf. In this paper, we analyzed the hourly variations of partial pressure of CO2 in surface sea water (pCO2) and discussed the corresponding environment factors controlling pCO2 in both seasons. The pCO2 values ranged from 530−628 μatm in spring to 427−748 μatm in summer, with the average sea-air CO2 flux in spring and summer for (1.7±0.8) mmol/(m2·d) and (1.2±0.8) mmol/(m2·d), respectively. The study area acted as a weak CO2 source during both seasons. The hourly changes of pCO2 in spring were more significantly affected by temperature effects than in summer. During summertime, pCO2 had more sensibly response to tidal action, enhanced biological production and respiration with inflow of coastal freshwater such as rivers and submarine groundwater discharge. Water warming dominated the formation of high pCO2 in spring. The enhanced biological production during the physical mixing of saline and fresh water played a role in the drawdown of surface dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and the mangroves and salt marshes ecosystems along the bay had a certain contribution to the addition of DIC on the freshwater end-member in summer. The variations of the ratio of DIC concentration and total alkalinity (TA) in the water masses could imply the overall distribution pattern adjacent to the Yingluo Bay-Anpu Harbor that high values exists in the bay and lower values exists in offshore water.
