North Pacific Ocean Carbon and Acidification Measurements from R/V Ryofu Maru III, 2014

North Pacific Ocean discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH, temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients collected during the R/V Ryofu Maru III cruise rf201404. Data were collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from 2014-04-29 to 2014-05-30.

Use Cases

• Modeling ocean acidification impacts based on pH and dissolved inorganic carbon measurements.
• Analyzing carbonate system dynamics based on total alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon data.
• Studying nutrient-oxygen relationships in the North Pacific based on nutrient and oxygen profile data.
• Calibrating oceanographic models using discrete temperature and salinity profile measurements.

Strengths

• Data includes multiple key ocean carbon and acidification variables measured together.
• Measurements are from a specific research cruise with a defined time range (2014-04-29 to 2014-05-30).
• Data is sourced from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a recognized authority.

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 and temporal bias inherent to a single cruise.
