September 2015 discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, chlorofluorocarbons, and CTD parameters collected during the R/V Knorr cruise in Davis Strait. The dataset was contributed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and is accessible via the Ocean Carbon and Acidification Data System.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean acidification based on dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity measurements
- Analyzing water column stratification based on CTD temperature and salinity profiles
- Tracking anthropogenic tracer distribution based on chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) data
- Studying marine biogeochemical cycles based on the suite of discrete chemical and physical measurements
Strengths
- Includes multiple key ocean chemistry parameters such as DIC, alkalinity, and CFCs
- Data collected during a dedicated research cruise (R/V Knorr) in a specific region (Davis Strait)
- Profile discrete measurements likely provide vertical resolution of the water column
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
