PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from L'ATALANTE in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2001-03-22 to 2001-04-13 and retrieved during cruise (POMME2) and CARINA/35A320010322. These data include ALKALINITY, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, WATER TEMPERATURE and pH. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by L. Merlivat of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Melchor Gonzalez-Davila of Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and M. Bianchi [affiliation unknown] as part of the CARINA/35A320010322 data set. The CARINA (CARbon dioxide IN the Atlantic Ocean) data synthesis project is an international collaborative effort of the EU IP CARBOOCEAN, and U.S. partners. It has produced a merged internally consistent dataset of open ocean subsurface measurements for biogeochemical investigations, in particular, studies involving the carbon system. The original focus area was the North Atlantic Ocean, but over time the geographic extent expanded and CARINA now includes data from the entire Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.
