Water temperature, salinity, oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, and others collected by CTD and Niskin bottles from research vessel Hugh R. Sharp in Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2017-08-25 to 2017-09-03 (NCEI Accession 0209187)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, oxygen, dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, and other sea water chemical parameters collected by CTD and Niskin bottles from research vessel Hugh R. Sharp in Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2017-08-25 to 2017-09-03. Discrete measurements of natural radiocarbon of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), DIC concentration, pH, and methane concentration were acquired from Niskin bottles during conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) casts. The CTD casts were conducted along five MAB transects oriented roughly perpendicular to the shelf break and stretching from the upper slope to about 1,000 m depth. Five CTD stations were occupied on each transect, and samples were collected throughout the water column from the near-surface waters (~2 m depth) to within 5 m of the seafloor, when possible. Approximately 12 samples were collected in the water column at the location of each CTD cast, for a total of 293 successful water samples at the 25 stations. Data are in XLS format and copied in CSV format.
