PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: This dataset includes discrete bottle measurements of Total Alkalinity, pH (on total scale), Oxygen, Nutrients, Temperature and Salinity from R/V Investigator SOCCOM cruise IN2016_v01 (EXPOCODE 096U20160108) in the Southern Ocean from 2016-01-08 to 2016-02-27. The R/V Investigator cruise IN2016_v01 is the part of the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) Project funded by National Science Foundation and the Heard Earth-Ocean-Biosphere Interactions (HEOBI) funded by multiple Australian agencies.

VARIABLES / PARAMETERS:

Total alkalinity
Abbreviation: ALKALI
Unit: UMOL/KG
Observation type: Discrete, bottle
Measured or calculated: Measured
Sampling instrument: Niskin Bottles
Detailed sampling and analyzing information: ALKALI samples were taken from 55 SOCCOM stations. Approximately 10% of samples were duplicates. Nominal 500 mL samples were drawn from the Niskin bottles, preserved with mercury (II) chloride and packed for shipping via air freight back for analysis at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Quality flag convention: WOCE quality control flags are used: 2 = good value, 3 = questionable value, 4 = bad value
Researcher name: Andrew Dickson
Researcher institution: SIO
