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 HESPERIDES in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1992-06-14 to 1992-08-15 (NCEI Accession 0115227)

This dataset includes chemical, discrete sample, physical and profile data collected from HESPERIDES in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1992-06-14 to 1992-08-15 and retrieved during cruise 29HE06_1-3. These data include ALKALINITY, CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-11 (CFC-11), CHLOROFLUOROCARBON-12 (CFC-12), DELTA CARBON-14, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, NITRATE, NITRITE, 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 Elisa F. Guallart of Institut de Ciències del Mar, CSIC, Aída F. Ríos and Fiz F. Pérez of Institute of Marine Research Vigo (IIM), Frank J. Millero of Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), and Gabriel Rosón of Universidad de Vigo as part of the WOCE_A05 dataset.

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a major component of the World Climate Research Program with the overall goal of better understanding the ocean's role in climate and climatic changes resulting from both natural and anthropogenic causes. The CO2 survey took advantage of the sampling opportunities provided by the WOCE Hydrographic Program (WHP) cruises during this period between 1990 and 1998. The final collection covers approximately 23,000 stations from 94 WOCE cruises.

Guallart、维戈海洋研究所（IIM）的Aída F. Ríos与Fiz F. Pérez、罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院（RSMAS）的Frank J. Millero，以及维戈大学的Gabriel Rosón共同采集，属于WOCE_A05数据集的组成部分。
世界海洋环流实验（World Ocean Circulation Experiment, WOCE）是世界气候研究计划的核心组成部分，其总体目标是深入理解海洋在气候及自然、人为因素引发的气候变化中所扮演的角色。本次CO₂调查依托1990至1998年间世界海洋环流实验水文计划（WHP）航次提供的采样契机开展。最终数据集覆盖了94个WOCE航次的约23000个测站。
