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 POLARSTERN in the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic Ocean from 2002-11-24 to 2003-01-23 (NODC Accessio

NODC Accession 0108068 includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from POLARSTERN in the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic Ocean from 2002-11-24 to 2003-01-23 and retrieved during cruise (ANTXX_2) and 06AQ20021124. These data include CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12), DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, 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 M. Hoppema and D.K. Futterer of Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research as part of the CLIVAR_A12_ANTXX_2 data set.

The International CLIVAR 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.
