Dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using Alkalinity titrator, CTD and other instruments from the MARIA S. MERIAN in the Davis Strait, Labrador Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2009-07-14 to 2009-

NODC Accession 0109916 includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from MARIA S. MERIAN in the Davis Strait, Labrador Sea and North Atlantic Ocean from 2009-07-14 to 2009-08-22 and retrieved during cruise 06M220090714 and MSM12_3. These data include ALKALINITY, AMMONIUM, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, SALINITY, SILICATE and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include Alkalinity titrator, CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and bottle. These data were collected by Toste Tanhua, M. Rhein, Tobias Steinhoff and Arne Kortzinger of Leibniz Institut Fur Meereswissenschaften as part of the CLIVAR_AR07W_2009_06M220090714 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.
