North Pacific Ocean Carbon and Acidification Measurements from 2017

Discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, alkalinity, pH, and nutrients were collected during the R/V Keifu Maru II cruise ks201702. The data, sourced from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, covers a specific expedition in the North Pacific Ocean from February 28 to March 26, 2017.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean acidification processes based on dissolved inorganic carbon and pH measurements.
• Analyzing carbon cycling and nutrient dynamics based on discrete profile data.
• Calibrating oceanographic sensors based on in-situ temperature and salinity profiles.
• Assessing regional ocean chemistry variability based on data from a specific research cruise.

Strengths

• Data originates from a specific, documented research cruise (EXPOCODE 49UF20170228).
• Includes multiple key ocean chemistry variables (DIC, alkalinity, pH, nutrients).
• Covers a defined temporal range from 2017-02-28 to 2017-03-26.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
