Preview graphic

This dataset includes seasonal water column carbonate chemistry species, temperature, and salinity sampled aboard the R/V Manta from 2013-11-18 to 2016-11-15 at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Data from a rapid response cruise on Aug. 1 2016 are also included for water depth up to 250 m. Quality flags are provided for pH, total alkalinity, and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). The maximum depth sampled is 250 m.
