Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, water temperature, salinity and nutrients collected from profile discrete observations using CTD, Niskin Bottles and other instruments during NOAA Ship Nancy Foster cruise NF10-13 (EXPOCODE 33NF20100701), in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-07-01 to 2010-07-18 (NCEI Accession 0240320)

This dataset contains profile discrete measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, water temperature, salinity and nutrients collected from profile discrete observations using CTD, Niskin Bottles and other instruments during the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster cruise NF10-13 (EXPOCODE 33NF20100701), in the Gulf of Mexico from 2010-07-01 to 2010-07-18. Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry. Through the SOOP program we measure air and ocean surface pCO2 and take discrete samples of other carbon parameters. This effort is in support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP) and the Climate Program Office.

The first CRM of each cell was used for a CRM correction. Station 6 niskin 1 is NOT from 1457 m depth for DIC. It looks like a surface sample; CRM manufacturer: Dr. A.
