Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, and North Greenland Sea data collected from the JAN MAYEN vessel between May 20 and June 2, 2005. It includes dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, nutrients, and physical variables like temperature and salinity from CTD and bottle instruments. The data were collected by researchers from Alfred Wegener Institute, National University of Ireland - Galway, and University of Tromsø as part of the CARINA synthesis project.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean acidification based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity measurements.
- Studying nutrient dynamics in Arctic waters based on nitrate, phosphate, and silicate data.
- Analyzing water column structure based on CTD-derived temperature, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure profiles.
Strengths
- Data covers a specific 13-day cruise in the Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, and North Greenland Sea.
- Includes multiple key biogeochemical variables for carbon system studies.
- Part of the international CARINA project aiming for internally consistent datasets.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
