Total alkalinity, pH on total scale, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete samples and profile observations from the R/V Hesperides cruise FICARAM_XV (EXPOCODE 29HE20130320) along the CLIVAR Repeat Section A17 in the Atlantic Ocean from 2013-03-20 to 2013-05-22 (NCEI Accession 0114434)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from the R/V Hesperides cruise FICARAM_XV (EXPOCODE 29HE20130320) along the CLIVAR Repeat Section A17 in the Atlantic Ocean from 2013-03-20 to 2013-05-22. These data include total alkalinity, pH on total scale, temperature, salinity and nutrients. The instruments used to collect these data include alkalinity titrator, CTD, spectrophotometer for pH measurement and Niskin bottles. These data were collected by Aída F. Ríos and Fiz F. Pérez of Institute of Marine Research Vigo (IIM) as part of the CLIVAR_A17_FICARAM_XV_2013 dataset. 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.
