Dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and other instruments from MIRAI in the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 2002-01-07 to 2002-02-16 (NCEI Accession 0112354)

NCEI Accession 0112354 includes biological, chemical, discrete sample, optical, physical and profile data collected from MIRAI in the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean from 2002-01-07 to 2002-02-16. These data include AMMONIUM (NH4), CHLOROPHYLL, CHLOROPHYLL A, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC), DISSOLVED OXYGEN, FLUORESCENCE, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHAEOPHYTIN, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SIGMA-T, WATER TEMPERATURE, pH, phosphate and silicate. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and bottle.

These data were collected by Takeshi Kawano of Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and Masao Ishii of Meteorological Research Institute; Geochemical Research Department as part of the PACIFICA_49NZ20020107 data set. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this data set: MR02-K01 and PACIFICA_49NZ20020107

PACIFICA (PACIFic ocean Interior CArbon) was an international collaborative project for the data synthesis of ocean interior carbon and its related parameters in the Pacific Ocean. The North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), Section of Carbon and Climate (S-CC) supported the project.
