Discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH, temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients collected during the R/V Keifu Maru II cruise ks201205 in the North Pacific Ocean. The cruise occurred from June 2 to June 14, 2012. The data originates from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean acidification trends based on pH and dissolved inorganic carbon measurements
- Analyzing marine carbon system dynamics based on total alkalinity and DIC
- Studying nutrient distributions and their relation to oxygen levels in the North Pacific Ocean
- Calibrating oceanographic models with discrete temperature and salinity profiles
Strengths
- Includes multiple key ocean chemistry parameters: DIC, alkalinity, pH, oxygen, and nutrients
- Data is temporally bounded to a specific cruise from June 2 to June 14, 2012
- Geographic coverage is specified as the North Pacific Ocean
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
