Temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from DISCOVERY in the Indian Ocean from 1995-01-06 to 1995-02-21 (NCEI Accession 0160543)

NCEI Accession 0160543 includes biological, chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from DISCOVERY in the Indian Ocean from 1995-01-06 to 1995-02-21. These data include CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11), CHLOROPHYLL A, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, PHAEOPHYTIN, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, WATER TEMPERATURE, phosphate and silicate. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle.

These data were collected by R. Pollard of National Oceanography Centre, Southampton as part of the WOCE_ISS01_74DI19950106 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: SWINDEX and WOCE_ISS01_1995

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a major component of the World Climate Research Program with the overall goal of better understanding the ocean's role in climate and climatic changes resulting from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The CO2 survey took advantage of the sampling opportunities provided by the WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP) cruises during this period between 1990 and 1998. The final collection covers approximately 23,000 stations from 94 WOCE cruises.
