Dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from NOAA Ship PISCES in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-10-27 to 2012-11-13 (NCEI Accession 0157447)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from NOAA Ship PISCES in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-10-27 to 2012-11-13. These data include AMMONIUM (NH4), DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC), DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, SALINITY, SIGMA-THETA, TOTAL ALKALINITY (TA), WATER TEMPERATURE, pH, phosphate and silicate. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle.

These data were collected by Donald C. Melrose of NMFS/NEFSC/Narragansett Lab and Denis Pierrot, Leticia Barbero, and Rik Wanninkhof of NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) as part of the Coastal_Pisces_2012 dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: PC1207

The Global Coastal Carbon Data Project data includes the bottle (discrete) and surface (underway) carbon-related measurements from coastal research cruises, the data from time series cruises and coastal moorings. The coastal regions data are very important for the understanding of carbon cycle on the continental margins.
