PH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using Alkalinity titrator, CTD and other instruments from THALASSA in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2002-06-11 to 2002-07-11 (NCEI Accession 0113917)

This dataset includes discrete sample and profile data collected from THALASSA in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2002-06-11 to 2002-07-11. These data include DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA), WATER TEMPERATURE, pH, phosphate and silicate. The instruments used to collect these data include Alkalinity titrator, CTD, bottle and spectrophotometer.

These data were collected by Herlé Mercier of IFREMER Centre de Brest, Fiz F. Pérez of Institute of Marine Research Vigo (IIM), and Marta Álvarez of Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) as part of the CARINA_35TH20020611_OVIDE 2002 dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: OVIDE 2002

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.
