Dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using Alkalinity titrator, CTD and other instruments from THOMAS G. THOMPSON in the North Pacific Ocean from 2008-08-26 to 2008-09-17 (NCEI Accession 0108130)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, optical, physical and profile data collected from THOMAS G. THOMPSON in the North Pacific Ocean from 2008-08-26 to 2008-09-17. These data include AMMONIUM (NH4), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12), DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC), DISSOLVED OXYGEN, Disulfur decafluoride, or Sulfur Pentafluoride (SF5, S2F10), FLUORESCENCE, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, SALINITY, SULFUR HEXAFLUORIDE (SF6), TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA), WATER TEMPERATURE, phosphate and silicate. The instruments used to collect these data include Alkalinity titrator, CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and bottle.

These data were collected by Christopher L. Sabine and Richard A. Feely of NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and Steven R. Emerson of University of Washington (UW) as part of the CLIVAR_TN224_2008 dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: CLIVAR_TN224_2008

The International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program carries out a systematic and global re-occupation of select WOCE/JGOFS hydrographic sections to quantify changes in storage and transport of heat, fresh water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and related parameters.
