Water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and other parameters from Niskin-bottle water samples from research vessel Hermano Gines in the Cariaco Basin from 1995-11-8 through 2017-1-12 (NCEI Accession 0201747)

This datasetset contains water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters taken by Niskin-bottle water samples from research vessel Hermano Gines in the Cariaco Basin of the Caribbean Sea for the CARIACO Ocean Time-Series Program (formerly known as CArbon Retention In A Colored Ocean). This observation program started in November 1995 (cruise CAR-001) and ended on January 2017 (cruise CAR-232). Monthly cruises were conducted as close as possible to the CARIACO station location (10.50N, 64.67W) onboard the reserach vessel Hermano Ginés of the Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales de Venezuela. During each cruise, a minimum of four hydrocasts were performed to collect a suite of core monthly observations. We conducted separate shallow and deep casts to obtain a better vertical resolution of in-situ Niskin-bottles samples for chemical observations, and for productivity, phytoplankton, and pigment. observations. Data were submitted as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and converted to CSV format.
