pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the DARVIN in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1991-05-01 to 1991-05-15 (NCEI Accession 0113524)

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes biological, chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from DARVIN in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1991-05-01 to 1991-05-15 and retrieved during cruise CARINA/74AB19910501. These data include ALKALINITY, CHLOROPHYLL A, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, PHOSPHATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SILICATE, WATER TEMPERATURE and pH. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Aida F. Ríos of Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas; Departamento de Oceanograffa and R. Pollard [affiliation unknown] as part of the CARINA/74AB19910501 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.
