pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the MIKHAIL SOMOV in the South Atlantic Ocean from 1981-10-09 to 1981-11-25 (NCEI Accession 0117504)

INVESTIGATOR:
Chen-Tung A. Chen - Oregon State University (OSU)

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from MIKHAIL SOMOV in the South Atlantic Ocean from 1981-10-09 to 1981-11-25 and retrieved during cruise WEPOLEX-81. These data include HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA), WATER TEMPERATURE and pH. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Chen-Tung A. Chen of National Sun Yat-Sen University; Institute of Marine Geology and Chemistry Institute of Marine Geology and Chemistry as part of the Carbonate Chemistry of the Weddell Sea data set.
