Dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and other instruments from the WAKATAKA MARU in the North Pacific Ocean from 1996-05-16 to 1996-05-25 (NCEI Accession 0112374)

NODC Accession 0112374 includes biological, chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from WAKATAKA MARU in the North Pacific Ocean from 1996-05-16 to 1996-05-25 and retrieved during cruise PACIFICA_49WA19960516 and WK9605. These data include ALKALINITY, CHLOROPHYLL A, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE + NITRITE CONTENT (CONCENTRATION), NITRITE, PHOSPHATE, SALINITY, SILICATE, WATER TEMPERATURE and pH. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and bottle. These data were collected by Shuichi Watanabe of Hokkaido University, Tsuneo Ono of National Research Institute of Fisheries Science and Ichiro Yasuda of University of Tokyo as part of the PACIFICA_49WA19960516 data set.

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.
