The CLIVAR_75N_2006 dataset contains discrete sample and profile observations collected from the G.O. SARS vessel in the North Greenland Sea and Norwegian Sea from July 21 to August 5, 2006. Are Olsen of the University of Bergen; Geophysical Institute (GFI), Norway collected data on alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, chlorofluorocarbons, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, salinity, and temperature. These data are part of the International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program's systematic re-occupation of hydrographic sections.
Use Cases
- Quantifying changes in ocean carbon dioxide storage based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity measurements.
- Analyzing ocean circulation and water mass properties based on salinity, temperature, and hydrostatic pressure profiles.
- Studying anthropogenic tracer distribution based on chlorofluorocarbon-11 and chlorofluorocarbon-12 data.
- Investigating marine nutrient cycles based on nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate concentrations.
- Calibrating and validating ocean biogeochemical models based on the suite of chemical and physical parameters.
Strengths
- Data collection spans a specific cruise period from 2006-07-21 to 2006-08-05.
- Includes a multi-variable suite of chemical, physical, and profile data relevant for ocean carbon studies.
- Associated with the authoritative International CLIVAR Global Ocean Carbon and Repeat Hydrography Program.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single cruise in the North Greenland Sea.
