Total alkalinity, pH on seawater scale, oxygen, temperature, salinity, nutrients and other measurements collected from discrete samples and profile observations during the R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa OVIDE-16 cruise (EXPOCODE 29AH20160617) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2016-06-17 to 2016-07-31 (NCEI Accession 0190728)

This dataset includes discrete sample and profile data collected during the R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa OVIDE-16 cruise (EXPOCODE 29AH20160617) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2016-06-17 to 2016-07-31. These data include total alkalinity, pH on sea water scale, oxygen, temperature, salinity, nutrients and chlorofluorocarbons. The instruments used to collect these data include alkalinity titrator, CTD, Niskin bottles and spectrophotometer. The International GO-SHIP Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program carries out a systematic and global re-occupation of select WOCE/JGOFS hydrographic sections to quantify changes in storage and transport of heat, fresh water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and related parameters. The objectives of the OVIDE-16 cruise are fulfilled in spite of the problems derived from the installation of the new signal transmission cable. This operation delayed the departure by one week. However, this delay was recovered thanks to the speed of the ship, the constant adaptation of the cruise planning to the weather forecasts and the excellent reliability of the CTD and box- corer operations. A total of 138 CTD stations and 66 sediment sampling were done. In addition, the recovery and new deployment of two ASFAR-ARGO systems were done, as well as the deployment of five meteorological floats and nine ARGO floats.
