pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the THALASSA in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2001-08-23 to 2001-09-13 (NCEI Accession 0113600)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from THALASSA in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2001-08-23 to 2001-09-13 and retrieved during cruise CARINA/35TH20010823 and POMME3. These data include ALKALINITY, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SILICATE, WATER TEMPERATURE and pH. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Liliane Merlivat of Laboratoire d’Océanographie Dynamique et de Climatologie/Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Université Paris VI, Melchor González-Dávila of Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), and Jean-Claude Gascard of Universite Pierre et Marie Curie; Laboratoire d'Océanographie Dynamique et de Climatologie as part of the CARINA/35TH20010823 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.
