Dissolved inorganic carbon, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the GAUSS in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1996-06-13 to 1996-06-27 (NCEI Accession 0113540)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from GAUSS in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1996-06-13 to 1996-06-27 and retrieved during cruise 06GA19960613 and 06GA276. These data include DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Helmuth Thomas of Dalhousie University; Institute of Oceanography, Alexander Sy of Federal Maritime Agency - Hamburg (BSH), and Bernd Schneider of Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology as part of the CARINA/06GA19960613 dataset.

The CARINA (CARbon dioxide IN the Atlantic Ocean) data synthesis project is an international collaborative effort of the EU IP CARBOOCEAN, and U.S. partners. It has produced a merged internally consistent dataset of open ocean subsurface measurements for biogeochemical investigations, in particular, studies involving the carbon system. The original focus area was the North Atlantic Ocean, but over time the geographic extent expanded and CARINA now includes data from the entire Atlantic, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.
