Dissolved inorganic carbon, pH on total scale, alkalinity, water temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete samples and profile observations using during the R/V Ryofu Maru cruise RF12_06 (EXPOCODE 49UP20120726) in the North Pacific Ocean from 2012-07-26 to 2012-09-13 (NCEI Accession 0116564)

This NCEI Accession includes dissolved inorganic carbon, pH on total scale, alkalinity, water temperature, salinity dissolved oxygen and nutrients collected from discrete samples and profile observations using during the R/V Ryofu Maru cruise RF12_06 (EXPOCODE 49UP20120726) in the North Pacific Ocean from 2012-07-26 to 2012-09-13. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and Niskin bottle. These data were collected by Hitomi Kamiya and Kazuhiro Nemoto of Japan Meteorological Agency; Pollutants Chemical Analysis Center; Marine Division; Global Environment and Marine Department as part of the CLIVAR_P02.5_2012 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.
