Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity and other measurements collected from discrete samples and profile observations during the R/V Knorr Clivar Mode water Dynamics Experiment (CLIMODE) cruise 316N188 (EXPOCODE 316N20070207) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2007-02-07 to 2007-03-22 (NCEI Accession 0186171)

This dataset includes discrete sample and profile data collected during the R/V Knorr Clivar Mode water Dynamics Experiment (CLIMODE) cruise 316N188 (EXPOCODE 316N20070207) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2007-02-07 to 2007-03-22. These data include temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity. This cruise on the Research Vessel Knorr is the first of two legs of wintertime observations in the CLIvar Mode water Dynamics Experiment (CLIMODE). The goal of these winter cruises is to obtain data during and following wintertime cooling over the CLIMODE region, to observe the formation of a major water mass of the N. Atlantic Ocean, Eighteen Degree Water (EDW), and to deploy instrumentation (floats and drifters) that will report back the evolution of the EDW. This is the 1st of two legs of the 4th CLIMODE cruise, hence we name it CLIMODE 4-1. It is also leg 1 of cruise 188 on the Knorr, hence it is also named KN188- 1: e.g., two different name conventions.
