Discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH, temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients collected during the R/V Ryofu Maru III cruise rf201501 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2015-01-10 to 2015-02-23. The dataset was aggregated by the Ocean Carbon and Acidification Data System (OCADS) and published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Use Cases
- Modeling ocean carbon uptake based on dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity measurements
- Assessing ocean acidification trends based on pH on total scale data
- Studying marine nutrient dynamics based on nutrient concentration profiles
- Analyzing oceanographic conditions based on temperature, salinity, and oxygen profiles
Strengths
- Includes multiple key ocean chemistry parameters: DIC, alkalinity, pH, nutrients, temperature, salinity, and oxygen
- Data collected over a defined period from 2015-01-10 to 2015-02-23
- Originates from a specific research cruise (EXPOCODE 49UP20150110) with profile observations
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single cruise track in the North Pacific Ocean
