Discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected during the R/V Aurora Australis cruise AU0803 (EXPOCODE 09AR20071216) along the GO-SHIP Repeat Section AR03 in the Indian Ocean, South Pacific Ocean and Southern Oceans from 2007-12-16 to 2008-01-27 (NCEI Accession 0143932)

This dataset includes discrete sample and profile data collected during the R/V Aurora Australis cruise AU0803 (EXPOCODE 09AR20071216) along the GO-SHIP Repeat Section AR03 in the Indian Ocean, South Pacific Ocean and Southern Oceans from 2007-12-16 to 2008-01-27. These data include dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, CFCs, dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature, nitrate + nitrite content (concentration), phosphate and silicate. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD, PAR Sensor and bottle. These data were collected by Martin Riddle of Australian Antarctic Division, Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities and Stephen R. Rintoul of Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) as part of the CLIVAR_SR03_2007 dataset. CDIAC associated the following cruise ID(s) with this dataset: AU0803 and CLIVAR_SR03_2007. The International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program carries out a systematic and global re-occupation of select WOCE/JGOFS hydrographic sections to quantify changes in storage and transport of heat, fresh water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and related parameters.
