Dissolved inorganic carbon, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and other instruments from the TANKAI-MARU in the North Pacific Ocean from 2002-01-08 to 2002-01-22 (NCEI Accession 0112319)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from TANKAI-MARU in the North Pacific Ocean from 2002-01-08 to 2002-01-22 and retrieved during cruise PACIFICA_49TA20020108 and TK0201. These data include DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE + NITRITE CONTENT (CONCENTRATION), PHOSPHATE, SALINITY, SILICATE and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and bottle. These data were collected by Tsuneo Ono of (NRIFS) National Research Institute of Fisheries Science as part of the PACIFICA_49TA20020108 dataset.

PACIFICA (PACIFic ocean Interior CArbon) was an international collaborative project for the data synthesis of ocean interior carbon and its related parameters in the Pacific Ocean. The North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), Section of Carbon and Climate (S-CC) supported the project.
