Dissolved inorganic carbon, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and other instruments from MIRAI in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea from 2002-11-13 to 2002-12-16 (NCEI Accession 0112356)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from MIRAI in the North Pacific Ocean and Philippine Sea from 2002-11-13 to 2002-12-16. These data include DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON (DIC), DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, SALINITY, SIGMA-T and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD, Coulometer for DIC measurement and bottle.

These data were collected by Eiji Yamashita and Kunio Yoneyama of Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and Masao Ishii of Meteorological Research Institute as part of the PACIFICA_49NZ20021113 dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: MR02-K06 Leg 1 and PACIFICA_49NZ20021113

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.
