PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes chemical, discrete bottle, physical and time series data collected from BOSEI MARU NO. 2, HAKUREI MARU, Hakuho Maru, Hokusei Maru, KAIYO-MARU, MIRAI, NATSUSHIMA and OSHORO MARU in the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 1992-06-23 to 2008-10-31 and retrieved during cruise Time Series KNOT. These data include ALKALINITY - TOTAL, AMMONIUM, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, SALINITY, SIGMA-THETA, SILICATE and TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include bottle. These data were collected by Akihiko Murata of Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and Shuichi Wantanabe, Makio Honda and Masahide Wakita of Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC); Mutsu Institute for Oceanography; Ocean Observation and Research Department as part of the Time_Series_KNOT data set.
