Dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations during the R/V Aurora Australis cruise AA9706, WOCE_SR03_1998 (EXPOCODE 09AR19980228) in the Southern Ocean from 1998-02-28 to 1998-04-01 (NCEI Accession 0115154)

This NCEI Accession includes discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and delta C13 obtained during the R/V Aurora Australis cruise AA9706, WOCE_SR03_1998 (EXPOCODE 09AR19980228) in the Southern Ocean from 1998-02-28 to 1998-04-01. These data were collected by Mark Rosenberg of Antarctic Climate & Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre, Bronte Tilbrook of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization and Benjamin McNeil of UNSW Climate Change Research Centre as part of the WOCE_SR03_1998 data set. 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.
