  abstract = {{I}ncreasing atmospheric {CO}2 from man-made climate change is reducing surface ocean p{H}. {D}ue to limited instrumental measurements and historical p{H} records in the world's oceans, seawater p{H} variability at the decadal and centennial scale remains largely unknown and requires documentation. {H}ere we present evidence of striking secular trends of decreasing p{H} since the late nineteenth century with pronounced interannual to decadal-interdecadal p{H} variability in the {S}outh {P}acific {O}cean from 1689 to 2011 {CE}. {H}igh-amplitude oceanic p{H} changes, likely related to atmospheric {CO}2 uptake and seawater dissolved inorganic carbon fluctuations, reveal a coupled relationship to sea surface temperature variations and highlight the marked influence of {E}l {N}ino/{S}outhern {O}scillation and {I}nterdecadal {P}acific {O}scillation. {W}e suggest changing surface winds strength and zonal advection processes as the main drivers responsible for regional p{H} variability up to 1881 {CE}, followed by the prominent role of anthropogenic {CO}2 in accelerating the process of ocean acidification.},
