Discrete sample and profile data collected from the G.O. SARS vessel in the North Greenland Sea and Norwegian Sea during July 2013. The dataset includes measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, stable isotopes, nutrients, and physical parameters like temperature and salinity. It was collected by Siv K. Lauvset of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research as part of the CLIVAR_75N_2013 cruise.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity measurements.
- Studying nutrient cycling in polar seas based on nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate data.
- Analyzing water column structure based on CTD-derived temperature, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure profiles.
- Investigating isotopic signatures of carbon based on delta carbon-13 and delta carbon-14 measurements.
Strengths
- Data covers multiple chemical and physical oceanographic parameters from a single cruise.
- Collection period is precisely defined from 2013-07-17 to 2013-07-30.
- Data is associated with the international CLIVAR 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.
