| Title: |
Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH on Total Scale, nutrients and other variables collected from profile and discrete sample observations during NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow cruise HB1701 (EXPOCODE 33HH20170211) in the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2017-02-11 to 2017-02-23 (NCEI Accession 0169111) |
| Abstract: |
This dataset contains dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH on total scale, nutrients and other variables measured from profile discrete measurement during NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow cruise HB1701 (EXPOCODE 33HH20170211) in the Gulf of Maine, Georges Bank, and Mid-Atlantic Bight from 2017-02-11 to 2017-02-23. Increasing amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide from human industrial activities are causing changes in global ocean carbon chemistry resulting in a reduction in pH, a process termed ocean acidification. Studies have demonstrated adverse effects on calcifying organisms, particularly some invertebrates, corals, sea urchins, pteropods, and coccolithophores. This effort is in support of the coastal monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP). |
