Dissolved inorganic carbon, pH, alkalinity, temperature, salinity and other variables collected from discrete sample and profile observations using CTD, bottle and other instruments from the METEOR in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1997-01-07 to 1997-01-20 (NCEI Accession 0113583)

This dataset includes biological, chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from METEOR in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1997-01-07 to 1997-01-20 and retrieved during cruise 06MT19970107 (06MT372). These data include ALKALINITY, CHLOROPHYLL A, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, PHOSPHATE, Potential temperature (theta), SALINITY, SILICATE, WATER TEMPERATURE and pH. The instruments used to collect these data include CTD and bottle. These data were collected by Thomas J. Müller of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Kiel, Germany and Fiz F. Pérez of Institute of Marine Research Vigo (IIM) as part of the CARINA/06MT19970107 dataset.

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 dataset 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.
