Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, phosphate, silicate, and other variables collected from profile and discrete sample observations using CTD, Niskin bottle and other instruments in the northwest coast of the United States near the Cha Ba mooring off La Push, Washington from 2011-05-22 to 2014-10-24 (NCEI Accession 0145160)

This archival package contains validation samples for moored time-series observations of ocean acidification water chemistry. This data set includes temperature and salinity data from CTD sensors and dissolved inorganic carbon concentration, total alkalinity, and nutrient data from Niskin bottle samples collected at the same times and places. Samples were collected on eight cruises conducted between May 2011 and October 2014 on various vessels to service the Cha Ba ocean acidification mooring off La Push, Washington. This data set is a subset of a larger data set of observations collected from Washington coastal waters, in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and within Puget Sound that will be submitted to NCEI in the future. The larger data set spans the time window of February 2008 to October 2014.
