pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using Alkalinity titrator, CTD and other instruments from the BELGICA in the North Sea from 2006-04-25 to 2006-05-11 (NCEI Accession 0112762)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from BELGICA in the North Sea from 2006-04-25 to 2006-05-11. These data include ALKALINITY, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, WATER TEMPERATURE and pH. The instruments used to collect these data include Alkalinity titrator, CTD, bottle and pH meter.

These data were collected by Alberto Borges of University of Liege and Lei Chou of Université Libre de Bruxelles as part of the COASTAL_Belgica_2006_09 dataset. CDIAC assigned the following cruise ID(s) to this dataset: COASTAL_Belgica_2006_09.

The Global Coastal Carbon Data Project data includes the bottle (discrete) and surface (underway) carbon-related measurements from coastal research cruises, the data from time series cruises and coastal moorings. The coastal regions data are very important for the understanding of carbon cycle on the continental margins.
