Dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the PIERRE RADISSON in the Baffin Bay and Davis Strait from 1999-08-27 to 1999-10-10 (NODC Accession 0113986)

NODC Accession 0113986 includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from PIERRE RADISSON in the Baffin Bay and Davis Strait from 1999-08-27 to 1999-10-10 and retrieved during cruise CARINA/18RD19990827. These data include ALKALINITY, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, PARTICULATE ORGANIC CARBON, PARTICULATE ORGANIC NITROGEN, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and WATER TEMPERATURE. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Lisa A. Miller of Institute of Ocean Sciences - Sidney, Patricia L. Yager of University of Georgia; School of Marine Programs and L. Fortier and H. Melling [affiliation unknown] as part of the CARINA/18RD19990827 data set.

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 data set 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.
