The East Siberia Sea and Laptev Sea are the geographic scope of this dataset. It contains discrete sample and profile observations of dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, temperature, salinity, and other variables collected from the AKADEMIK FYODOROV vessel during a cruise in July-August 1994. The data were collected by Leif Anderson of Gothenburg University as part of the CARINA (CARbon dioxide IN the Atlantic Ocean) international synthesis project.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity measurements.
- Analyzing Arctic Ocean biogeochemical processes based on silicate and total organic carbon data.
- Studying water column properties based on potential temperature, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure profiles.
- Investigating dissolved oxygen distribution in the Arctic seas.
Strengths
- Data collected during a specific cruise from 1994-07-05 to 1994-08-08, providing a focused temporal snapshot.
- Includes multiple key variables for carbon system studies: ALKALINITY, DISSOLVED INORGANIC CARBON, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, SILICATE, and Total Organic Carbon.
- Part of the CARINA international project, which aimed to produce a merged, internally consistent data set for biogeochemical investigations.
Limitations
- Last updated 1994-08-08 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
