Dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, salinity and other variables collected from surface underway observations using Autonomous sensor to measure dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and other instruments from RYOFU MARU in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea from 1997-10-20 to 1999-07-12 (NCEI Accession 0080989)

This dataset includes chemical, meteorological, physical and surface underway data collected from RYOFU MARU in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea from 1997-10-20 to 1999-07-12. These data include AIR TEMPERATURE, BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC), SALINITY, SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE, TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA), WIND DIRECTION and WIND SPEED. The instruments used to collect these data include Autonomous sensor to measure dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC).

These data were collected by Hisayuki Y. Inoue of Hokkaido University and Masao Ishii of Meteorological Research Institute as part of the MRI Ryofu Maru III dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: RF9709, RF9901 and RF9906
