Bottle discrete measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, and other hydrographic parameters collected during Buzzards Baykeeper cruises from 2015-06-15 to 2017-09-01. The dataset includes temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients, and chlorophyll A. Field research was supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Use Cases
- Modeling coastal ocean acidification based on dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity measurements.
- Analyzing seasonal nutrient cycles based on nitrate, phosphate, and ammonium data.
- Studying phytoplankton biomass dynamics based on chlorophyll A concentrations.
- Investigating water mass properties based on concurrent temperature and salinity profiles.
Strengths
- Data collection spans over two years from 2015-06-15 to 2017-09-01, providing seasonal coverage.
- Includes multiple key chemical parameters like DIC, TA, and nutrients for comprehensive water analysis.
- Field research was supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation (14-106159-000-CFP).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
