Temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the DARVIN in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1991-07-12 to 1991-07-24 (NCEI Accession 0113526)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from DARVIN in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1991-07-12 to 1991-07-24 and retrieved during cruise CARINA/74AB19910712. These data include DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SILICATE and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Andrew J. Watson of Plymouth Marine Laboratory as part of the CARINA/74AB19910712 dataset.

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.

本数据集包含1991年7月12日至1991年7月24日期间在北大西洋DARVIN站点采集、并于CARINA/74AB19910712航次中获取的化学、离散样本、物理及剖面数据。数据类型涵盖溶解氧（DISSOLVED OXYGEN）、静水压力（HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE）、硝酸盐（NITRATE）、位温（Potential temperature，θ）、盐度（SALINITY）、硅酸盐（SILICATE）及水温（WATER TEMPERATURE）。采集所用仪器包括CTD（温盐深仪）和采水瓶。这些数据由普利茅斯海洋实验室的安德鲁·J·沃森采集，是CARINA/74AB19910712数据集的一部分。

CARINA（大西洋二氧化碳研究，CARbon dioxide IN the Atlantic Ocean）数据合成项目是欧盟综合项目CARBOOCEAN与美国合作伙伴共同开展的国际协作项目。该项目已生成一套内部一致的开阔海洋次表层测量合并数据集，用于生物地球化学研究，尤其是碳系统相关研究。项目最初的重点区域为北大西洋，随着时间推移，其地理范围逐步扩展，目前CARINA已涵盖整个大西洋、北冰洋及南大洋的数据。
