Dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the HESPERIDES in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1998-07-30 to 1998-08-21 (NCEI Accession 0113756)

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from HESPERIDES in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1998-07-30 to 1998-08-21 and retrieved during cruise CARINA/29HE19980730. These data include ALKALINITY, AMMONIUM, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, 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 Javier Arístegui and M. Alvarez of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Aida F. Ríos of Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas de Vigo and F. Pérez [affiliation unknown] as part of the CARINA/29HE19980730 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.
